Everybody loves the Passport to the World Festival, the DMV’s most musically diverse month-long music festival in the intimate listening-room environment of the Creative Cauldron’s black-box theater. Twenty shows every January, for over 12 years, featuring current and future musicians of the DMV and beyond. Due to popular demand there’s now a Summer Series too, curated by Antidote, in partnership with the Cauldron’s Cabaret Summer Series.

For 2023 we see the return of legendary DC musicians The Kennedy’s, on tour from their NYC home and performing for two-nights at the Cauldron. Other artists include Quintango, The Dave Kline Band, Griefcat, Veronneau, Don Dillingham (Nat King Cole Tribute), and more. Full schedule to be published soon.
