First Thursday Pushed to Aug. 8

Del Ray Business Association organizers postpone August festival.

The Del Ray Business Association’s August First Thursday street festival on Mount Vernon Avenue is postponed to Thursday, Aug. 8.

The festival was initially scheduled for the evening of Thursday, Aug. 1, but inclement weather sweeping through the area caused organizers to cancel the event at the last minute.

The theme of August’s festival is “Did You Know?,” and some Del Ray’s lesser-known businesses will be highlighted with booths and other fun stuff, including plenty of live music. The free, family-friendly event runs will run from 6 to 9 p.m. along Mount Vernon Avenue.
