The 5th Annual DemocracyFest will be held August 16th and 17th, 2008 in Dulles, VA, just outside Washington, DC. The location and date was announced today by DemocracyFest Incorporated; the event's producer.

DemocracyFest is a weekend-long political festival, filled with educational trainings and inspiring speakers and entertainers. The event's motto is "Education by Day, Celebration by Night".

Past annual DemocracyFests have been held in Massachusetts, Texas, California, and New Hampshire. Past trainings have been organized by Democracy For America, Latinos For America and Root Camp. Speakers have included Gov. Howard Dean (free and open to the public), Molly Ivans, Jim Hightower, Al Franken and Sen. John Edwards. This year's event promises to be another exciting, informative and fun filled weekend!

Holiday Inn Washington Dulles will be the location for the Saturday through Sunday event, where politically minded, progressive activists will be meeting this year for networking, education and enjoyment. Training classes, by Democracy for America, will be held during the daytime while speakers and entertainment will be in the evening hours and throughout the days.
