Lost City Books' "First" Birthday Party!

  • Lost City Books 2467 18th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20009 United States (map)

Lost City Books humbly requests the pleasure of your company in celebration of our “First” Birthday! Time isn't real, let's have a party! (Malört shots anyone? heehee)

We opened our doors after renovations on February 29th, 2020. We're a Leap Day baby! It's been one* whole year since then, so we're celebrating the accomplishment of growing older by doing what we do best: throwing a party and selling some books (but hopefully not in that order)!

Come celebrate one (*and/or four) year(s) of Lost City Books, depending on your concept of time. There'll be dancing! Flash tattoos! Book shopping! Refreshments and snacks! We'd love to have you with us!

Come in your freakiest finery! This means wacky black tie, masquerade ball, lots of sparkles, ball gowns, etcetera. Please show out for your favorite neighborhood bookshop. <3
