The 41 best things to do in D.C. this weekend and next week
This is one of the biggest weekends of the year (so far), with multiple days of St. Patrick's Day parties bumping up against Pi Day, Holi, Nowruz and Women's History Month. We have celebrations of all those events included here, though we also have separate guides to St. Patrick's Day and Pi Day and have included only a few highlights here, so please read those stories for more inspiration. Beyond those holidays, though, we have a Jimmy Buffett-inspired Purim party, a day dedicated to drawing and doodling at the National Building Museum, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington's spring concert, a booze-free silent book club, a Palestinian-inspired iftar dinner, new museum exhibits, and a festival dedicated to all the delicious ways to enjoy local grain.

Gwyneth Paltrow Goes Topless to Whip Up a 'Boyfriend Breakfast' in New Cooking Video
Gwyneth Paltrow is sharing a new recipe for one of her favorite breakfasts — and she's doing it in a cheeky way On Saturday, June 14, the 52-year-old actress shared a video on Instagram showing herself whipping up what she called a "boyfriend breakfast" while standing topless "Can I be your boyfriend?" Jennifer Garner joked in the comments Gwyneth Paltrow is sharing a new recipe for one of her favorite breakfasts — and opting for a risque look in the process. On Saturday, June 14, the actress, 52, shared a video on Instagram cooking what she called a "boyfriend breakfast" of locally-made sausage, white beans, spinach, tomatoes and eggs. In the video, Paltrow filmed herself getting up in the morning wearing white linen pajamas and taking her first sip of coffee — before the camera cuts to her standing at the stove cooking while topless. "This was a Tuscan inspired high protein #boyfriendbreakfast skillet with sausage from the local butcher, white beans, spinach, cherry tomatoes and of course eggs," she captioned the video, which was set to Prince's 1987 track "Starfish and Coffee." Elsewhere in the video, Paltrow showed off her gorgeous kitchen as she cooked up her eggs and beans in a large pot, before taking her solo breakfast outside to her backyard to enjoy a view of the mountains. The PEOPLE App is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Tons of the star's friends and fans took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the recipe — and her sexy look. "Can I be your boyfriend?" actress Jennifer Garner joked in one comment. "Yum! Food looks good too ❤️," influencer Yasmin Sewell chimed in. "You are a vibe," another commenter gushed. Paltrow's Tuscan-inspired cooking video follows her recent trip to Italy. Just last week, she was photographed enjoying summer sunshine while yachting around the Capri coast. The Oscar winner kept her long blonde in a relaxed style while wearing minimal gold jewelry. Paltrow wore a simple black scoop neck one-piece swimsuit and a pair of oversized Wayfarer sunglasses. She later changed into a black maxi dress, which she paired with a simple gold necklace, gold hoop earrings and a Gucci raffia effect interlocking G tote bag. The Goop founder and her husband, Brad Falchuk, were joined by friend Edward Norton, the latter of whom also opted for a more casual look for the night out in the seaside city. Her fellow Oscar nominee, 55, sported a collared white short-sleeved button-down shirt with a pair of navy blue pants.

"Grain-free almond and coconut pancakes with a strawberry compote situation to kick off the holiday weekend - made in my favorite goop pot (on sale now) #boyfriendbreakfast," she captioned the Instagram post.

The Cure Co. Flower
If you're cruising through California's cannabis culture, you've probably heard of The Cure Company. They're not just another name in the industry—they're a movement. Known for their premium-grade flower and authentic West Coast legacy, they've built a brand that's as trusted as your favorite smoke spot. From Downtown LA to high-end dispensaries, The Cure Co. has built its rep on consistency, quality, and collabs with cultural icons. Their flower strains are lab-tested, clean-grown, and loved by cannabis connoisseurs across the state. Marathon OG isn't just a strain—it's a tribute. It's a special phenotype of OG Kush, selected and bred for its powerful punch and calming clarity. Gassy, earthy, and piney—this is OG Kush on steroids. Named in honor of the late rapper Nipsey Hussle, Marathon OG is more than a product—it's a symbol. Nipsey's legacy of hustle, empowerment, and authenticity flows through this flower. It's a staple for fans and cannabis lovers alike. Crack open a jar and you'll see tight, dense buds coated with milky trichomes. With hues of lime green and purple, this flower is sticky, sparkly, and stunning. One whiff, and it hits you. Diesel fuel, pine forest, and damp earth—it's like hiking through a forest with a jet engine behind you. The smell is pungent, lingering, and unmistakably OG. When smoked or vaped, Marathon OG delivers creamy, gassy hits with an herbal backend. It's smooth on the inhale and earthy on the exhale, with a taste that lingers pleasantly. Don't underestimate this beast. Within a few minutes, users report a heavy head rush followed by full-body relaxation. It's a slow-burning high that builds layer by layer. You'll feel uplifted, focused, and calm, all at once. This isn't a wild creative sativa—it's a grounded, balanced indica that keeps your mind clear while your body melts into the couch. Because of its high THC levels, newbies might find it overwhelming. Veterans, however, will love its complex, heady buzz. Feeling anxious or tense? Marathon OG is like a weighted blanket for your brain. It slows racing thoughts and encourages calmness. Users with chronic pain, inflammation, or muscle tension say this strain is a game-changer. The body buzz dulls discomfort and encourages deep relaxation. Feeling down? Marathon OG gently lifts your mood without overstimulating. It's great for mellow evenings or quiet weekends. This isn't your average dispensary flower. Marathon OG often clocks in at 25–30% THC, making it extremely potent and long-lasting. Nighttime or chill weekends are ideal. It's not your 'quick hit before a meeting' strain—it's more like a 'put the phone on Do Not Disturb' strain. Each eighth comes in a sleek black glass jar with Nipsey-inspired branding. It's premium, collectible, and designed to keep the flower fresh. The Cure Co. focuses on environmentally conscious packaging, lab testing, and pesticide-free cultivation—a huge win for health-conscious smokers. Glass bong or bowl for the smoothest flavor for the smoothest flavor Dry herb vaporizer for terpene lovers for terpene lovers Rolled joints for that classic feel Start low and slow. A few puffs can go a long way. Stay hydrated, grab some snacks, and find your favorite playlist. Marathon OG is not always available, which adds to its cult-like appeal. When it drops, it sells out fast—and for good reason. The Cure Co. grows this strain in state-of-the-art facilities, under strict environmental controls, which results in consistent top-shelf quality. You can grab it at licensed dispensaries throughout California—especially in Los Angeles. It's often featured at The Cure Company's DTLA location. To buy Marathon OG, you must be 21+ or 18+ with a medical card in California. Always shop from licensed dispensaries for legit products. Keep your flower in a cool, dark place, ideally in its original glass jar. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored, Marathon OG can stay potent for 6–12 months. But let's be real—it probably won't last that long. While both share a lineage, Marathon OG is stronger, gassier, and more meditative. Think of it as OG Kush with a master's degree. Chill seekers Cannabis veterans Fans of deep, calming indicas 'This strain made me feel like I was floating. Perfect after a long day.' — Jason, LA 'I bought it because of Nipsey, I keep buying it because it's fire.' — Maya, Long Beach It combines culture, quality, and killer effects—a trifecta that's hard to beat. Absolutely. If you're chasing a legendary high with cultural weight, this is your strain. Marathon OG is not just about getting lifted—it's about honoring legacy, finding calm, and treating yourself to the best. 1. Is Marathon OG suitable for beginners? Not really. It's quite potent, so beginners should take it slow or choose a milder strain. 2. What's the average THC content in Marathon OG? Typically between 25–30%, which is considered high. 3. Can I use Marathon OG during the day? It's better suited for evenings or relaxed settings due to its sedative effects. 4. Is Marathon OG available outside of California? Currently, it's mainly available in California. Always check your local dispensary. 5. Is Marathon OG a sativa or indica? It's an indica-dominant hybrid with deeply relaxing effects.

St. Catharines celebrates love, life and laughter at Holi Festival of Colour
An afternoon of love, life and laughter was celebrated in downtown St. Catharines Saturday. Over 3,000 people tossed various bright-coloured powders at each other while dancing under an umbrella of a water sent from a St. Catharines firefighter's hose as they celebrated Holi, the festival of colours, love and spring. Kat Dodge, the recently named executive director of the Downtown St. Catharines Association, which organized the fourth annual festival, said Holi, a major Hindu festival that commemorates the eternal and divine love of the deities Radha and Krishna, as well as signifying the triumph of good over evil, is usually held in the spring. Participants at the fourth annual Holi Festival June 14 at the Meridian Centre parking lot enjoy throwing coloured powder at each other, then getting a shower from the St. Catharines Fire Department. 'We host it later so we can do it outside,' she said. 'And it is a great opportunity to showcase our downtown, encouraging people to come to other events. It's a really great way for us to encourage people to come to St. Catharines.' For the last three years it was held on St. Paul Street, but the area became overwhelmed with people and it had to find another larger location — the parking lot of the Meridian Centre. 'It has been amazing to see the people here,' said Dodge. 'We have been really happy here to see all the events and vendors. It is really quite accessible.' Participants at the Holi Festival at the Meridian Centre's parking lot enjoy the water from the St. Catharines Fire officials June 14. Over 3,000 people attended the event, said organizers. Last year's event attracted about 3,000 people, with 47 per cent traveling from beyond Niagara . Dodge said new venue holds more people. The event points to its inclusiveness, fun and ability to generate a remembrance of home for some people, said Dodge. 'It looks like we have more people here than last year,' she said. 'It will be exciting to look at the numbers when we have them.' Participants enjoy dancing as the water from a St. Catharines Fire Department's hose soaks them during the Holi Festival at the Meridian Centre's parking lot June 14. Holi originated and is predominately celebrated in the Indian subcontinent, while also spreading to other parts of Asia and to the West. Holi also commemorates the arrival of spring in India, the end of winter and the blossoming of love. It lasts for a night and day. Dancers perform during the Holi Festival at the Meridian Centre's parking lot in downtown St. Catharines. Over 3,000 people attended the popular event. Avikash Sharna, who is from Kitchener, was enjoying dancing with his friends as several St. Catharines firefighters took turns spraying the crowd with water, while bhangra music was pounded relentlessly from the disc jockey. 'This is amazing,' he said. 'It's a lot of fun.' St. Catharines Firefighter Mandi McClellan has some fun spraying water to welcoming participants of the Holi Festival at the Meridian Centre parking lot. The free event, the idea of the association's members, also featured authentic Indian music, kids activities, food and educational workshops provided by the St. Catharines Downtown Association and the St. Catharines Public Library. Dodge, who also enjoyed dancing with the crowd and association volunteers, also participated in throwing around some coloured powder. 'I'm trying to stay as dry as possible,' she said. 'This has become one of my favourite events.'
