Celebrate in-person or at home!

The great irony of New Year’s Eve 2020, though, is that there’s never been a year to which we’re more excited to bid farewell, and yet, we can’t celebrate its departure in the all-out, stay-up-until-sunrise, shutdown-the-dancefloor way we otherwise might. 

But just as we adapted Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas, there are plenty of options for bidding good riddance to this crazy year. Here’s a mix of virtual and in-person ways to spend New Year’s Eve and, at last, welcome 2021. Huzzah!

​We've curated some of the best holiday classics and newcomers for you to enjoy, so gather your pod, light a fire in the hearth and pour mug of cocoa or mulled wine, and be of good cheer as you enjoy your selections at home. Your clicks and attention helps local performers and venues at the same time, and that's definitely the best gift of all!

Words, words, glorious words!
Picture
Music. TV and movies. Social media. Talking with friends. Words are all around us every day, in one form or another. But we don’t really ever stop and think about the origin of the words and language we use, do we?

The newly opened Planet Word museum aims to change that.

The interactive museum fills three floors of the historic Franklin School with games, touch screens and video screens to help visitors explore the origins and evolution of languages, and to play with words by reading, singing and speaking.

In this museum-saturated city, Planet Word delivers something new.

We love DC, but to be honest, our commitment is tested during the heat and humidity of its infamous summers, ugh.  So we rejoice when temperatures start to dip and a cup of PSL becomes a standard accessory. 

There's always a lot to do in the District and it's even better in the fall!  From ghosts and ghouls, reopened museums, pop-up wineries and colorful murals, we've rounded up some of the best things to do right now, whether you're a local or just visiting.

Six Places to Have a Pumpkin & Apple Picking Good Time Near DC

Did someone say cider doughnuts? Get ready for this fall tradition with corn mazes, hayrides and more! 
Picture
You can feel it in the air . . . fall is almost here!

It's absolutely my favorite season!  I LOVE the changing leaves, the return of pumpkin spice everything and the falling temperatures. I'm sooo over DC’s heat and humidity. I also have very fond memories of visiting my godfather in Michigan and picking pumpkins and crisp, delicious apples at a neighboring farm.
​

Luckily, you don’t have to go all the way to Michigan to experience this fabulous fall tradition. You can find plenty of pumpkins and apples at the always incredible Eastern Market or one of the many local farmers markets,  but there are many legit farms within driving distance where you can pick your own pumpkins and apples for a real-deal farm experience.

​Whether you're looking for a family-friendly experience with hayrides and other bells and whistles, or a no frills farm visit, you'll find the perfect one to visit from the six we've scouted. 

Did we forget your favorite? Let us know!
