Georgia Avenue Thrive is launching First Friday on Georgia Avenue today, a way to celebrate local businesses in the area with giveaways, freebies, deals and more. It’s a neat way to learn more about all the cool stuff on the street. There’s also things for kids, pets, and yoga enthusiasts!
The idea is that it will be a monthly event with lots of local spots participating. Pretty neat, I plan to check it out.
Here’s more details.
The spring just got more exciting! We are launching the first First Friday on lower Georgia Avenue on Cinco de Mayo.
