Looking for an elegant, exciting, and refreshing summer plan?

On Saturday, July 19, you’re invited to one of DC’s most anticipated events — the Garden Party at the Embassy of France! 🎉

Vendor Opportunities for Summer Series & New Indoor Expansion

We are calling all creators, makers, artists, and entrepreneurs! Join our growing community of vibrant small businesses and showcase your work at one of DC’s most eclectic and supportive marketplaces.

This Saturday, June 28 — Dupont Artisan Marketplace

The summer vibe is strong in the heart of DC. Join us for a creative open-air market featuring local artists, vintage curators, designers, and handmade craft vendors — all set up on the 1900 block of Massachusetts Ave NW.

This Friday, join us for a night of comedy and storytelling (and maybe even a jazz trumpet performance). We’ve brought together the best performers in the DMV to tell us about being pushed to the brink, you won’t want to miss it!

The ArtsFairfax Events Calendar is your destination for all arts and culture activities in Northern Virginia. Find a concert, play, poetry reading, or exhibition in your neighborhood—many events are free and family-friendly!

Are you part of a performing arts group, school, or cultural organization? You can add your events and classes, too. The ArtsFairfax Events Calendar is free and easy to use.

Join us for the Pride in STEM Festival—a joyful celebration of identity, curiosity, and creativity! Hosted by Because Science, a woman-owned science gift shop and event space in Adams Morgan, this vibrant, all-ages event features hands-on experiments, collaborative art, and DIY projects, plus our headlining Science Drag Storytime—where fierce meets physics.

From rainbow optics and elephant’s toothpaste to Pride bracelet-making, our drop-in activities take 10–30 minutes each, perfect for a fun, interactive afternoon. Come anytime from 12–6 PM on Saturday and Sunday; no registration needed (though mid-activity arrivals may avoid peak crowds).

Go Ape, America’s leading aerial adventure park provider, is proud to unveil a revitalized experience across its iconic Zipline & Adventure Parks. This refresh goes beyond physical upgrades; it reflects a renewed mission to foster meaningful connections between people, nature, and self.

“Go Ape has always been about thrilling treetop adventures,” says Chrissy Very, Senior Director of Marketing. “Now, we’re redefining what it means to truly connect: through purpose-driven outdoor experiences that inspire courage, reflection, and joy.”

Join us for a casual farm-to-table experience with live music, celebrating freedom through movement! 

Formerly known as “Happy Hour,” our newly reimagined Garden Party invites you to unwind in a relaxed outdoor setting with farm-fresh small bites, a live dj, dancing, refreshing mocktails and a small assortment of adult beverages available by donation.
