The streets will come alive with strolling musicians and mimes, while families can enjoy children's activities including a caricature artist, balloon sculptor and more with Dumbarton House and Tudor Place.

Completing the European experience, several of Georgetown's best restaurants and cafés will serve authentic French fare street-side including crepes, grilled merguez sausages, fresh breads, cheese and more.
