Wilson Building Bulletin: A cold dose of reality on D.C.’s budget
And Trayon White gets a new trial date.
We've got a rare trifecta: a Saturday Valentine’s Day, early Mardi Gras and Lunar New Year celebrations, and (for the lucky among us) three days off.
Whether you feel contemplative or festive, solemn or uplifted, this is your guide to what’s happening in February 2026 across the District.
Warm up with a Heated Rivalry-inspired dance party, take in theater performances filled with ghosts and vampires, and start making plans for your spring garden.
Catch a free opera performance, do-si-do into a community square dance, and learn how to create old-fashioned toys.
Root yourself in community this weekend — from trash cleanups and a teach-in to a rock rave or jazz jam.
You may be tempted to stay home and curl up under a blanket this weekend. But that would be a mistake when D.C. is alive — from a comedy show and clothing swap to hip-hop meditation.
Skate at the newly reopened rink in Anacostia, catch a nerdy burlesque show, and visit one (or two, or three...) holiday markets.
Hunting for gifts and community — or a good story to tell your family later this month? We’ve got you covered.
Stay warm indoors with art shows and classical music concerts, or brave the cold for a cleanup of Rock Creek Park and even a fireworks show.
There are plenty of things to do if you're in town over the long holiday weekend.
We're looking forward to a few favorite annual events, the ramp-up of holiday markets, and opportunities to connect with the community.
It's holiday market season, and twinkling lights are going up. Plus: Take a free art class, or preview an immersive performance.
With your help, we pursue stories that hold leaders to account, demystify opaque city and civic processes, and celebrate the idiosyncrasies that make us proud to call D.C. home. Put simply, our mission is to make it easier — and more fun — to live in the District. Our members help keep local news free and independent for all:
