HW3 - H Street Festival - Charlotte

On Sept. 22, 2019, the annual H Street Festival was held in Washington, D.C. The 11-block festival celebrates the arts and supports small businesses and local vendors.

Avery Whitney-Blum and Hannah Stryker, sophomores at the University of Maryland, look at paintings by a local artist.

A group of teenagers take a selfie in front of a "step and repeat" backdrop, which promotes a yoga studio. The studio is one of the many businesses that promote themselves at the festival each year.

Two University of Maryland students, sophomore humanities major Malaika Mosele and sophomore journalism and computer science double-major Jesse Anderson, admire pottery and figurines from Japan in one vendor's booth.

Festival-goers dance in the street to EDM, even in the 90 degree weather.

The H Street Festival attracts thousands of people every year to celebrate art and music, and discover local businesses.
