From our friends at American Ice Co. (AMICO):
“American Ice Company is turning into a neighborhood flea market for the afternoon on Sunday, September 20, from 2–7 p.m.
The Shaw bar is bringing together a mix of local vintage sellers, artists, makers, collectors and upcyclers for an afternoon of shopping, drinking and hanging out at AMICO.
Expect racks of vintage goods, jewelry, accessories, home goods, art, handmade pieces, upcycled finds and plenty of things you probably didn’t know you needed until you saw them.
Participating vendors include Allie Cat Antiques, Firelake Design, Tasha Jann, KTT Kamp, LaLa Sketchbook, Ndeye.Sock, Bad Craft Academy and Saryval, with everything from vintage clothing and overseas finds to live-drawn art, mending and handmade jewelry.
Since it’s still American Ice Company, the bar will be open throughout the market for anyone who wants to browse with a beer or cocktail in hand, grab some food, or just hang out for the afternoon.
Pets welcome.”

“H Street Festival is one of the most anticipated and highly attended single day festivals in Washington D.C. The festival is 12 blocks long and has 15 staging areas that are diversely themed and programmed to target the different segments of audiences. The staging areas feature music of different genres, dance, youth based performances, interactive children’s program, fashion, heritage arts, poetry and many more.
The festival started as a 500 participant bloc party more than 19 years ago, it has now grown into a 150,000 participant event. The change is immense and the impact is lasting. By using the arts as a principle motivator of the festival, it has proven the arts can be a valuable agent in impacting economic growth. The festival also has a direct impact on reducing commercial building vacancy rate on H Street Corridor from 75% to under 5%. H Street Festival has successfully utilized arts as an engine for the growth for the historic neighborhood.
We have activity stations that focus on participatory artwork, informational stations that promote arts education, and exhibitor stations that showcase D.C. based artists. The depth and range of arts presentations are incomparable to any other festivals.”
