Casal Català of D.C. hosted the first annual World Book Day, also a traditional Catalonian festival known as Sant Jordi, on Saturday in Dupont Circle.
“This year, we thought that we wanted to bring it to Washington for all the Washingtonians to enjoy,” said Mar Tarrés of Casal Català.
UNESCO adopted April 23 as World Book Day, and it is now celebrated in more than 50 places across the world.
