A WILD SIDE MEDIA x UNION MARKET DISTRICT COLLABORATION

We are excited to announce a new collaboration with Wild Side Media, where founder and CEO Monica Alford interviews the small business owners and talented artists who make our neighborhood so vibrant. Our partnership kicks off with a series of conversations highlighting our 12th annual Sunday Supper in Dock5 on Sunday, June 2. Learn more about D.C.'s newest media outlet and Monica and visit wildsidemedia.co for the latest.

AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE 12TH ANNUAL SUNDAY SUPPER

Alford chatted with the trio about how our signature event directly supports ways to make the hospitality industry more dynamic, equitable and sustainable. Watch the full interview here.
