Walk. Sip. Support. – with My Sister's Place on Oct 18th

Join My Sister’s Place, one of DC's oldest Domestic Violence non-profits, on Saturday, October 18th, for a community walk along the Metropolitan Branch Trail to raise awareness about domestic violence and support survivors and their families.

This interactive event invites participants to stop at local businesses along the Metropolitan Beer Trail for activities, purple-themed drinks, and opportunities to learn more about domestic violence services in the DC community. By walking together, we send a strong message: no one walks alone.

Event Highlights:

• Trail Walk: A self-paced walk along the Metropolitan Branch Trail, beginning at Wunder Garten and continuing to partner stops.

• Community Stops: Enjoy purple cocktails, mocktails, and activities at local favorites including City-State Public House, Metrobar, Lost Generation, and Wunder Garten.
