The 17th Street Festival will include entertainment all day, including a marching band to open the festival, mariachi band to enliven the day, a Chinese dragon dancer to add some mystery, and a New Orleans jazz band to bring some charm.
New this year, we will have three parades by participants starting at 17th and R Street to walk down the festival site. First is the baby parade for parents with strollers (ages 0-2). Next, we will have the wagon brigade where children ages 3-12 can decorate their wagons and pull it down the street with their favorite stuffed animals. Finally, we will have a dog parade to add to the mix of the menagerie; pet owners are encourage to dress their pets like lions, cats, squirrels, etc.
The festival will include more than 50 artists displaying everything from fine art to jewelry, ceramics to crafts, and every creative item in between. Other vendors will include area nonprofit organizations, politicians, and local entrepreneurs. The Kids Zone is has been moved to 17th Street to be part of the street fair with a moon bound, ball crawl, and face painting.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
