Tonight kicks off Art All Night 2024, DC’s largest arts festival! Across all eight wards, neighborhoods will be buzzing with art, music, performances and activations, turning main streets into vibrant spaces filled with creativity and community spirit. The festivities run tonight and tomorrow from 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. in every ward.
Art All Night is not just a celebration—it’s an investment in our communities and the arts. By bringing artists, musicians, and local businesses together, we’re showcasing the unique character of each neighborhood and the power of creativity to bring people together. This year, expect even more excitement with new experiences and another block party at the MLK Library, featuring fun, food, and Go-Go favorites. And with the return of Dine All Night, a 10-day culinary experience, you can enjoy special menu items at restaurants across DC.
As we close out 202Creates, our month-long celebration of DC’s creative community, Art All Night is the perfect opportunity to come together and celebrate the people and places that make our neighborhoods so special. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors—let’s make Art All Night 2024 one to remember!
