Photos: Van Ness came alive for Art All Night

Our sleepy Van Ness stayed up late last Saturday, and visitors could scarcely believe their eyes.

A part of DC’s Art All Night: Made in DC festivities, Van Ness Main Street transformed this stretch of Connecticut Avenue into a nightlife destination, with family-friendly activities and entertainment.

At the fire dancers’ performance outside the Starbucks, we overheard many people exclaim, “We can’t believe this is happening here!”

Here is a sampling of the night’s many attractions from photographer Phil Taplin.
