This summer, The Parks at Walter Reed is coming alive.
The walkable urban neighborhood, once a military medical campus, in Northwest D.C. is hosting dozens of events on its historic Great Lawn, a six-acre green space with a natural amphitheater shape.
Stop by for live theater, film showings, fitness classes, festivals, markets, kids’ performances and more. Plus, you’ll soon find a brand-new dog park and public playground (opening Aug. 1 with celebratory popsicles at 4:30 p.m.!).
A few upcoming highlights worth adding to your calendar include:
- Jazz in The Parks, Aug. 1, Aug. 21 and Sept. 18
Children’s performers take the stage at 5:30 p.m. with the headliner following at 6 p.m. Bring a picnic, blanket and drinks, and grab food at your favorite food trucks. - FRESHFARM Market, Aug. 1 to Oct. 17
Stop by each Sunday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to stock up on fresh produce and local goods. - Movies on the Lawn, Aug. 21, Sept. 11 and Oct. 2
Bring chairs, picnics and popcorn (blankets provided!). The family-friendly lineup kicks off with “Get On Up” on Aug. 21. - Down in the Reeds, Oct. 9
This music festival has a full line-up and is complete with local brews, artisanal vendors and more.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
