Cicada Saturday! Two Part Celebration for The Whole Family

  • Joe's Movement Emporium 3309 Bunker Hill Road Mount Rainier, MD, 20712 United States (map)

Joe’s Outdoor Performance Series presents a two-part event featuring stories, fun, facts, music, and dancing in honor of our temporary neighbors, the cicadas.

Cicadas! Wow, What A Bug! 

3:00-4:30 PM Outdoors at Joe’s!

Fun for the whole family!

Kay Taub is an entomologist, or "bug scientist." She will share the unique biological story of the cicada. Storytelling, dance, and music will also be presented by local artists. If fate allows, a larger-than-life cicada might join in the fun!

A Salute to the Cicadas: A Variety Show to Revere and Razz Brood X:

7:30-9:30 PM Outdoors at Joe’s!

(Doors open at 7 PM)

A fun evening for grown-ups!

Join us for an evening dedicated to the prodigal neighbors who drop by for a visit every 17 years--Cicadas! Whether you believe as the ancient Greeks that these singing, reproductive-focused insects are gifts from the Muses or wish they'd go back into the holes they crawled out of, this event is for you! Joe's has invited area performing artists both beloved and new to pay a tongue-in-cheek homage to one of the world's oldest bugs.
