While strolling K Street, they visited the booths of several retailers and sipped beers in the beer garden courtesy of The Berliner and Pacifico, wine from 90+ Cellars, and nonalcoholic beverages by PepsiCo.

Festival-goers also got the chance to experience INFINITI’s all new 2019 QX50, QX60, and QX80 models and visit the Kids Corner for face-painting, coloring, and other activities. Throughout the day, food lovers voted for their favorite restaurants. Washingtonian’s Anna Spiegel awarded the best bites of the day.
