About The Event

End the workday with DowntownDC Live – a weekly, free “Happy Hour” music series presented by the DowntownDC BID.

On June 19 starting at 4:30 p.m., meet us at Franklin Park and get loud and proud with JChris, the Latin pop virtuoso whose global sound blends Latin, Afro, and Brazilian beats into irresistible pop anthems. Beyond the rhythm, his music boldly celebrates gender fluidity and queer culture. Desmond Thompson will open the set with summer heat in Downtown D.C.

Come dance, celebrate, and feel the rhythm!

The DowntownDC Live series is curated by Mars Arts D.C., Washington Performing Arts’s signature community engagement initiative.
