2017 Negroni Week in Washington, D.C.
Negroni Week is back! The annual all-things-Campari fest returns from June 5th-11th, and D.C. bars and restaurants are lining up to participate.
Not only will you find all the Negroni riffs and spritzes you can handle, but all bars also make a charitable donation as part of their participation. Negroni Week started in 2013 with about 100 bars involved, and today the global bonanza backed by Imbibe magazine and Campari brings together some 6,000 venues who have collectively raised a total of almost $900,000.
Here’s a few dozen of the many participating DC bars, with some notes on what you can expect to find. For a full list and more details, visit NegroniWeek.com.
