Make sure to mark your calendars for two big music festivals, too. Totally Tubular Fest brings together some of your ‘80s favorites like Wang Chung and Thomas Dolby, while Broccoli City Festival brings together top performers like Lil Yachty, Victoria Monet, and Issa Rae. While some concerts will take place right in the heart of the city at Capital One Arena, others might require a quick journey to nearby Alexandria or some of your favorite D.C clubs.
