Monday evenings from June through August the Crystal City BID presents free outdoor movies beginning at sundown on the Crystal Screen at the courtyard at 1851 Bell Street in Crystal City. You can dine at nearby restaurants before the show or bring your own picnic. Past years have had a Star Trek theme, SuperHeroes, James Bond movies and Clint Eastwood films.
Enjoy dancing to live Salsa or Swing music and after-work drinks at “Party at the Plaza” in Rosslyn in front of the Rosslyn Spectrum Theatre every Wednesday in June and July from 5:30 – 8:00. The evening starts with a half hour dance lesson.
NOTE: The Party at the Plaza has not been held in recent years, but check Rosslyn BID’s website for other events at Central Place Plaza.
Ocean Dunes Waterpark at Upton Hills Wilson Boulevard generally opens weekends beginning Memorial Day and is open daily once local public schools are out through Labor Day.
Memorial Day weekend marks the arrival of hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists to the DC area to participate in Rolling to Remember, (formerly known as Rolling Thunder), a demonstration to pay respect for Veterans who gave their lives for our freedom and accountability for POW-MIAs and to raise awareness for the mental health crisis affecting thousands of Veterans. The motorcyclists meet at the Pentagon in Arlington on Sunday morning before Memorial Day and began their ride to the Lincoln Memorial around noon. Some of the best viewing sites are along the Memorial Bridge and on Constitution Avenue. Visit the Rolling to Remember website for the complete schedule.
Rosslyn BID sponsors a free summer music series on select Wednesdays in July/August in Central Place Plaza from 4-6:30.
Starting in late May and every other Saturday through the summer Potomac Overlook Park has musical performances from local groups. There is no admission fee but donations of $5+ per person are requested to help fund the series.
NOTE: These concerts have not been held in recent years, but hopefully will return soon.
