Locally referred to as “Berkeley of the East,” Takoma Park prides itself on hosting cultural events and growing mature trees – it’s a Tree City USA after all. The community puts on a variety of events throughout the year, including a film and jazz festival, which attracts locals and visitors alike.
The city sits right at the northern border of Washington D.C., and is a highly diverse area with a continuing effort to help the environment. Between local festivals, art galleries, and cuisines from around the globe, city residents never worry about boredom here.
