Masonic Week 2027

 

What is Masonic Week?

While active since 1932, the annual event known as Masonic Week first convened in Washington, D.C., on February 21, 1938. Since then, it has met continuously in the Washington D.C. metro area nearly every year. The event brings together several small and invitational orders of Freemasonry that host their annual meeting and other events during the week. Several of these organizations provide representatives to the planning committee which oversees the arrangements and schedule. Being the largest of the organizations, the Grand Council of the Allied Masonic Degrees of the United States of America has served as the lead organizer since the inception of the event.

Is this your first time attending Masonic Week?

Masonic Week is an amazing opportunity to further your Masonic journey and engage in fellowship. But, unlike a “Masonic Con” or educational event, the week is designed around several business meetings for groups with varying membership requirements. While there will be opportunities for individuals to learn and enjoy presentations, Masonic education is not the primary purpose of the event. If this is your first time attending Masonic Week, we invite you to the join us for one of our Masonic Week Orientation periods, available for one half hour each morning. The information provided is the same on each day, so you only need to attend one session.

Welcome! We hope you enjoy your time with us.

The House of the Temple will be open on Friday, February 6,  from 10 AM to 4 PM.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial will be open from Thursday, February 5, to Sunday, February 8, from 9 AM to 5 PM.
