The 32 best things to do in D.C. this weekend and next week

If downtown D.C. smells delicious this weekend, blame the Giant BBQ Battle, which brings champion pitmasters, go-go bands, stunt bikers and plenty of free food to Pennsylvania Avenue NW this weekend. Elsewhere, you can tour historic sites and farms for free in Montgomery County, celebrate the final weekend of Pride Month on both sides of the Potomac, or groove to steel bands at a Caribbean Carnival concert. The Washington Spirit’s players get behind bar counters in Navy Yard, and local makers bring their wares to the Bridge District in Anacostia. And while the grand reopening of National Geographic’s Museum of Exploration is sold out, you can get a taste during a free Saturday-night market.
