H Street Festival 

This past weekend – Saturday, September 15, 2012 – I went to Washington D.C.'s annual H Street Festival.  It was the very first time I attended the festival and I thoroughly enjoyed all that the festival had to offer including: the live entertainment, art, food, and exclusive merchants. The festival was clearly “designed to showcase the unique qualities of [the H Street] community. The event is a part of the revitalization strategy to bring attention to the developing arts and entertainment district at the eastern end of the H Street Northeast corridor.” (Cooper) Here I share with you a few pictures I took while at the festival.
