From an email:

“The lower Georgia Avenue businesses are launching First Friday on May 5th from 6-8pm. This will be a monthly recurring activity with a growing number of businesses offering specials, highlighting DC artists and musicians.

We are partnering with the Petworth Arts Collaborative on this with a vision for a vibrant First Friday from Upshur to Euclid in the hopefully not too distant future.

The spring just got more exciting! We are launching the first First Friday on lower Georgia Avenue on Cinco de Mayo. Join us this Friday, May 5th from 6-8pm for our monthly celebration of the Georgia Avenue community with specials and live events at our local businesses, see list below. More to join in the future!

The participating businesses are:

Colony Club – 3210 Georgia Avenue NW
Live music by Three Man Soul Machine

Enjoy a free cup of coffee as you choose from the many delicious offerings!

Kick-start your weekend with this special Friday evening yoga class set to the teacher’s favorite mix of Hip Hop, Dance, and R&B music. This class is a fun, powerful, and amped-up flow, promising to leave you sweaty and ready to dance the night away (perhaps after a shower!).


Thank you to all of our participating businesses! Follow us to be the first to know which additional businesses will join us in the months to come!


We have partnered with Petworth Arts Collaborative to bring you more art, music and theatre and community engagement while supporting our local businesses, so stayed tuned for more on that!
