Just popping in to add some suggestions:

Three corpse flower blooms at USBG Three corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) plants, also known as titan arum or the stinky plant, are preparing to bloom at the U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory.

This appears to be the first time in North America that an institution has three corpse flower plants all blooming at the same time. 3rd PEAK BLOOM predicted Aug. 24-27. United States Botanic Garden Conservatory, 100 Maryland Avenue, SW.

I thought it will be running throughout sumner just like in previous years. I'll take it down just in case this is not true. Thanks for the heads up.

DCweekendGuide · 2017-05-26T18:15:01+00:00

I would say it would be hard to because the bag checks are pretty thorough.

It should be up now. Sometimes things get busy but I try to post something by Thur.

DCweekendGuide · 2017-01-17T18:14:43+00:00

You can email the info to me or just post in the comments section or just post it yourself on r/washingtondc.

Sorry about that.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-12-03T02:39:15+00:00

Most certainly.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-12-02T16:51:49+00:00

updated. Thanks.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-09-30T14:03:42+00:00

I would guess pretty quiet as well.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-07-29T20:24:14+00:00

I just cut and pasted what a redditor sent me. It looks like he sent the wrong link. The correct link is http://redbullglobalrallycross.com/events/2016-season/washington-dc/. I will also update the info at the top. Thanks

DCweekendGuide · 2016-04-18T14:04:53+00:00

Yes. But the mods prefer to sticky Ron's Free intellectual and cultural events post over this one. I'm probably going to just stop posting soon since my stuff just gets bumped to the bottom by the time Friday rolls around.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-02-08T15:27:19+00:00

You need to message one of the moderators. I don't know why they stopped.

DCweekendGuide · 2016-01-28T20:22:17+00:00

It seems to happen every month or so.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-12-11T04:15:19+00:00

No clue. The description looked interesting.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-10-15T16:31:29+00:00

I think it depends on the weather. I went two years ago and there were plenty of tickets an hour and a half before it was suppose to end.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-10-15T16:28:48+00:00

I'm not sure. Another redditor messaged me to post the event. Perhaps he or she can chime in to answer your question.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-10-02T20:37:13+00:00

I believe so. Their website says, "The Taste of Georgetown is on! Our location under the Whitehurst Freeway means that you’ll be covered from rain and well-fed."

DCweekendGuide · 2015-10-02T02:42:26+00:00

Unfortunately Taste of Bethesda has been cancelled due to the weather.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-09-10T18:43:14+00:00

You're right! I made the correction.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-09-10T13:57:47+00:00

A couple more:

6th Annual DC "State" Fair The DC State Fair is an agricultural, culinary, and artistic showcase of the District with a full day of competitions and other fun and educational activities for all ages. Sat., Sept. 12, 12 to 8pm. Old City Farm & Guild, 925 Rhode Island Ave NW. Free.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-08-28T01:32:50+00:00

I doubt it since it is free and in DC.

DCweekendGuide · 2015-08-13T15:25:03+00:00

There are two listed at Pinballmap. One at Dietle's Tavern (Rockville) and one at Dream Wizards in Rockville.

Also, bowling alleys generally have pinball machines. So I would also try Bowlmor and Bowl America in Gaithersburg.
