Washington National Cathedral is delighted to welcome acolytes, servers, and vergers from across the country each year to celebrate this vital ministry of service and faith. The festival is a time-honored tradition for many congregations, and we are eager for this year’s edition on Saturday, October 11, 2025.
The festival runs from 9 am to 2:30 pm, and begins as participants join in the longest and most colorful procession imaginable—the Grandest of Processions—as we prepare to gather around Christ’s table for a festival Holy Eucharist.
Following the service, participants are invited to spend the afternoon exploring the Cathedral, the grounds, or join a variety of fun workshops and offerings: perfect your thurible techniques, help build the LEGO® Cathedral, create a liturgical streamer, take a look at Cathedral treasures, or peruse exhibitors.
Lunch is available for pre-purchase during the registration process, or you are welcome to bring your own.
