First Friday Dupont
A longstanding Dupont Circle tradition, the First Friday Dupont Art Walk connects locals and visitors to D.C. to modern and contemporary work by artists on the national and international scenes, as well as those based in the nation’s capital. First Friday Dupont is a chance to explore the heart of Washington’s art scene in one of the city’s most cosmopolitan neighborhoods. It’s also an opportunity to delve into local history and lore on a Washington Walks tour created expressly for First Friday. Hear about:
- How Dupont Circle got its name;
- Where the 17th Street High Heel Race got its start;
- What building gave rise to the Height of Buildings Act;
- Why a line of poetry is inscribed on a wall of the Dupont Circle Metro station.
The walk concludes steps away from First Friday mainstays like:
Abundant opportunities for shopping, dining, and imbibing, too!
Led by Carolyn, David, Martin, or Paul
Proceeds will benefit non-profit Dupont Circle Main Streets.
