The 2020 Burleith gløgg party enjoyed its ninth successful year on February 2, Super Bowl Sunday. Sponsored by the Burleith Citizens Association, this annual festivity has become a highlight of the winter season. Neighbors get re-acquainted, make new friends, and share news, while enjoying a Scandinavian tradition of the delicious hot drink “gløgg” or mulled cider. A record number of children, who joined in the fun, were among the more than 80 attendees.

Special guests included DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Burleith ANC commissioner Kishan Putta, Mayor Bowser's Ward 2 liaison Amr Kotb, and Conrad DeWitte, president of the Foxhall Community Citizens Association. BCA president Eric Langenbacher welcomed attendees and introduced the mayor who made a few remarks and then mingled with the crowd and answered myriad questions.

Many thanks to the numerous Burleith Board members and residents who brought food, served gløgg, greeted guests, took pictures, went grocery shopping, and even moved furniture. The assistance was invaluable!

We hope to see all of you again next year!
