Something to Howl About: Annual Dog Days Sidewalk Sales Goes Virtual

The annual MidCity Dog Days Sidewalk Sale promises to be the biggest in the event’s 20-year history as this year’s edition will expand beyond the 14th and U streets neighborhood to include businesses across the District. Naturally, due to the pandemic lockdown, the sales will be virtual.

Dog Days DC takes place Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9. The virtual festival includes a wide variety of District merchants offering weekend special prices, discounted merchandise and services, and gifts with purchases.

Participation is free; to register, see this page.

Food and beverage, retail outlets, fitness and health centers, electronic services, and online brands will participate. Businesses wishing to join the festivities click here.

Dog Days DC is a partnership between the nonprofit District Bridges, which promotes inclusive relationships among Washington, D.C., neighborhoods (and have fun doing it), and DC Shop Small, an organization devoted to promoting local small businesses.

Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
