Save the 37th Annual Adams Morgan Day this year--

so we can call 2016 “The 38th Consecutive Adams

Morgan Day”!

Instead of blocking off the street this year, the 37th

Annual Adams Morgan Day is taking a more organic

turn.  Businesses are working towards hosting an

Adams Morgan Day Festival that is an open house to

all their businesses and the artists within the

community.

Get ready businesses, because whether you are on

18th Street, Columbia Road or Florida Avenue, you

will be a part of this great day!  The theme is to display

what you do, and possibly host a local artist or

merchant who may not have a brick and mortar

business of their own, in that vacant patio space next

to you.  You might even want to share YOUR patio

space.  Get creative folks – cause the people are

coming!

Possible ideas could include:

·        Music being played from establishments

·        Hula hooping contest

·        Painting mural – or painting a square to be added to the mural

·        Pie or cupcake eating contest

·        Scavenger hunt with prizes at each stop

·        Historical walking tours led throughout the day

·        Karaoke in front of Peyote

·        Street musicians roaming

·        Flashmob

·        Jugglers, clowns

·        Drag parade

·        Dance plaza

·        Wedding cake for marriage equality

·        Bike valet

·        Partnership with local breweries

·        Partnerships between bars and artists/crafts

·        Sharing space with local leaders

·        National’s Presidents and/or other mascots

·        Statehood temporary tattoos
