And don’t worry about finding your way around other event details. Here’s a quick guide to ‘Something in the Water’ Washington, D.C 2022.
Two years after its debut in Virginia Beach, Something in the Water (SITW) has a new venue – Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C. Yes! This year, recording artist/producer Pharrell brings the festival to the capital’s famous streets.
After the first edition of Something in the Water in 2019, the pandemic led to cancellations in 2020 and 2021. Meanwhile, citing police misconduct in Virginia Beach, the organizers decided to shift the next editions of the event to Washington, D.C. Pharrell called out the conduct of Virginia Beach city officials and police in the case of his cousin Donovan Lynch’s death.

Something in the Water focuses on fighting systematic issues and empowering historically marginalized communities by promoting educational, business, and employment opportunities.
