North Capitol Main Street

 

NCMS Presents 1st on First - Art + Music Walk

 

 

Once again, North Capitol Main Street is bringing its signature promotional event back to the community to promote the neighborhoods of the North Capitol Area as a great place to live and do business.

 

From 12 Noon to 4:00 pm, August 7th -- the first Saturday -- along First Street, from Florida to Rhode Island Avenue, you'll find cutting edge art installations from local artists.  There'll be music entertainment from end to end, something for the kids and a great time to enjoy.
