The Green bustled with activity on July 27 as the College welcomed community members to campus to enjoy a summertime commemoration of Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary. The daytime portion of the event included food trucks, games, tango lessons, and live music. Representatives from several Dartmouth-affiliated organizations and departments gave out 250-related souvenirs and shared information about programs open to the public. A free evening concert, presented by the Hopkins Center for the Arts, included performances by the Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet, Cha Wa, and Noah Kahan.
