50 Free Doughnuts
October 5, 2024 | 10:00 am–10:30 am
The Hirshhorn Museum celebrates a milestone in October 2024: its 50th birthday.
Fifty is too big a birthday for one day, or just one cake, so the Museum is partnering with four fine bakeries: Rose Avenue Bakery; Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events; Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken and Just Fine Donuts to celebrate the “concrete doughnut” on the National Mall.
Between Thursday Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 6, one fine bakery will provide 50 free donuts to be distributed at 10 am in our lobby, one per person, until all have been shared.
Thursday, Oct. 3: Rose Ave Bakery
Friday, Oct. 4: Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events
Saturday: Oct. 5: Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken
Sunday, Oct. 6: Just Fine Donuts (vegan and nut-free)
Dolcezza Coffee & Gelato at Hirshhorn will be selling a special cinnamon donut-flavored soft-serve gelato throughout the month of October from their café in the Museum’s lobby.
