H Street Festival: Music, Dogs and Love under the Sun
After a virtual year, the H Street Festival was back this past Saturday. From noon to 7 p.m., H Street welcomed new and old visitors from the neighborhood, the District and beyond for fun, music, oddities, tons of fun District agency swag and FOOD– so much food! Below, all photos taken by me. Enjoy! (Viewing tip for mobile: Turn your phone sideways for best display.)
