Our City Film Festival Opening Night Party
- This event has passed.
Celebrate all our city has to offer. See performances from DC-based bands, drink DC-brewed beer and meet DC filmmakers, the night before the festival. After all, DC is more than just monuments, politics, and traffic.
Artists will include:
Christylez Bacon has become a household name in DC. The Grammy-nominated, progressive Hip-Hop beat-box artist is originally from Southeast DC and was once the subject of an Our City Film Festival screened film. No matter your musical taste, you’ll love his original sound and wonder, “How does he do that!?”
Party Girl – Tight, funky, Elvis Costello cover band comprised of musicians whose previous bands range from Motown to reggae to garage.
Edge Theory – One of the top progressive jazz compositions in DC whose roots stem from Howard University’s Jazz Ensemble.
