The 40 best things to do in D.C. this weekend and next week

This weekend is a dramatic whirlwind of overlapping celebrations. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery with music and cultural festivals. Capital Pride reaches its peak with the parade through downtown, a block party and street festival. The Smithsonian marks the high point of summer by keeping its museums open late for two nights of concerts, stargazing and dancing. But that’s not all: The U.S. soccer team draws fans at World Cup watch parties around the area. Outdoor movies continue to pop up, including one in a pool, while the Botanic Garden invites plant-lovers to an after-hours party. An around-the-world boat race docks at the Wharf, and a new brewery opens its doors in Shaw.
