The Group Experience
Whether it’s formal or casual, a celebration or just friends having a good time, your group’s visit to the Kennedy Center is always a special occasion. With performances held every day of the year in its multiple venues, the Kennedy Center is the nation’s busiest showcase for the arts. We offer something for everyone including the very best of Broadway, ballet, dance, opera, symphony, comedy, jazz, hip hop, performing arts for young audiences, and more!
