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!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
