RE:Her, the organization of the DC area’s women and non-binary owned-restaurants, bars and bakeries, throws its second annual Women’s History Month Festival. Food and beverage lovers celebrate Women's History Month by taking part in incredible menu collaborations and specials from March 13 – 19.  

 DC has a number of women-owned restaurants, bakeries and retail food establishments. Many of these owners have found that their collaboration and sisterhood has strengthened their spirits and sales, especially throughout the most recent tumultuous times.
