DC Open House List for This Weekend: May 22, 2026
Memorial Day weekend is here, and DC’s housing market isn’t taking the holiday off — there are 170 open houses across the city this weekend. Whether you’re firing up the grill or squeezing in a little house-hunting between cookouts, it’s a perfect stretch of days to wander through some new listings. To see the full DC Open House list, click here.

From Moreland’s Tavern (5501 14th Street, NW):
“TONIGHT! Thursday, May 9th, 8pm! Tunes at the Tavern continues with free music from the Maka Sticks, a DMV Ska band! Upstairs at Moreland’s Tavern! JOIN US!!”
The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.
