The 38 best things to do in D.C. this weekend and next week
Is this the biggest weekend of 2025 so far? Combine the always-popular Around the World Embassy Tour, which features free open houses with games, snacks and cultural performances at more than 60 embassies, with Kentucky Derby viewing parties, Cinco de Mayo parties, the Running of the Chihuahuas at the Wharf, Adams Morgan's PorchFest neighborhood music festival, Washington National Cathedral's annual Flower Mart, the grand opening of Glen Echo's historic carousel, Star Wars-themed gatherings on May the Fourth and the return of outdoor movie season. Yes, there are going to be some hard choices to make, though at least the Cinco de Mayo celebrations are spread out, since the holiday falls on Monday.
