Magical Afternoon Tea Party in the KC Cafe of The Kennedy Center

Tea on the rooftop of The Kennedy Center is always magical. Add a dash of Mary Poppins, a spoonful of Ben McCormick, classically trained French pastry chef, a sprinkle of "Jenny" resident cupcake decorator specialist, and the breath-taking vista of the Georgetown waterfront, Potomac River and Lincoln Memorial, and you have one supercalifragilisticexpicalidocious experience.

Every Saturday and Sunday through August 22nd, KC Cafe hosts a Magical Afternoon Tea Party after matinee performances of Mary Poppins. Kids of all ages (and their parents) are invited for mini-sandwiches, sweets, tea, lemonade, and an opportunity to create their very own designer cupcakes.
