This year, Capitol View Neighborhood Association (CVNA) is bringing a little extra glow to December’s First Friday with a short, luminary-lit walk between two houses to kick off the holiday season together on Friday, December 5th, at 6 pm.
We hope you’ll come out, enjoy the lights, and celebrate the season with your Capitol View community! Both stops will have light drinks and refreshments provided, but, as always, we welcome and encourage neighbors to bring potluck-style contributions if you’re able.
