Georgetown Art Attack

Georgetown Art Attack: Go Big, or Go Home! Saturday, May 11th 6-9 pm

4 out of 5 Godzilla-sized majorettes agree that the monthly Georgetown Art Attack art walk is worth the foot traffic of our marching band-friendly Airport Way S strip. The fifth majorette, well, let’s just say she marches to the sound of another, less funky drummer.
