Art All Night Returns to Uptown on September 11
Experience Art All Night on Friday, September 11, 2026, where the citywide celebration of art, music, and culture kicks off. For one night, neighborhoods will come alive with visual and culinary art, interactive activities, dance, live music, and creative experiences for all ages. The festival is free and offers residents and visitors an opportunity to explore local businesses, discover D.C. artists, and experience the unique character of Uptown neighborhoods, including Petworth, 16th Street Heights, and Brightwood Park.
This year marks the fifth year that Uptown Community Initiative has hosted Art All Night. To mark this anniversary, UCI is inviting neighbors to a new event: Taste of Uptown. Food establishments representing eight countries will offer a free treat to visitors in the 4600 and 4700 blocks of 14th St!
