    Tanks for visiting

    Nearly every weekend on the Mall you will find some activity. My last weekend there was a show the branches of the military, with tons of equipment on display.

    There were water tanks with old deep sea diving uniforms being demonstrated. Aircraft and tanks, cannons and large firearms, and recruitment boothes were scattered across the grass.

    Odd to see tanks lined up in front of the Capitol Building.

    The Canadian Embassy, right next to the Capitol has very interesting exhibits that are open to the public.

    The Embassy is located at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

    Here is a photo of one of their recent exhibits, a Haida sculpture.

    Many embassies located in DC offer cultural events.

    For instance, the Austrian Embassy at 3524 International Court NW, off Van Ness Street between Connecticut Avenue and Reno Road, has a 420 seat auditorium where they present concerts with performances of classical and contemporary music as well as jazz. They also host exhibitions, literary and academic events, film screenings and other presentations.

    For information contact the Austrian Cultural Forum. See numbers below.

    The Grand Foyer, scene of many free concerts and programs and the reception area for all three theaters on the main level.

    The 18 crystal chandeliers are a gift from Sweden.

    While at the Kennedy Center, try Encore Café, or the Roof Terrace Restaurant both provide wonderful views of the city.
    Opened in 1971 the JFK Center is both our national performing arts center and a memorial to JFK . Has an opera house, a concert hall, two stage theaters and a film theater.

    This is Washington's most famous event, attracting many visitors. The event occurs each spring (the end of March-beginning of April) to commemorate the relations between Japan & the US, along with Japanese culture. The most famous location for the blossoms is around the Tidal Basin & the Jefferson Memorial, although these pretty trees/blossoms can be found through the DC area.

  • Lots of the clubs in the area have different themes on different nights. Sometimes it might be a strictly college crowd, sometimes Latin music, sometimes hip hop. Ask around to see what night is best for what you're looking for.
