Wonderland Ballroom’s annual Sundress Fest is a beloved neighborhood tradition celebrating community, creativity, and philanthropy. For 20 years, Wonderland invites locals to don their best sundress (or purchase one from the sundress racks!) and join in for an unforgettable day of music, laughter, and giving back. All proceeds benefit DC Central Kitchen, a nonprofit fighting hunger and creating opportunities through food.
