25 Things to Do in the DC Area This Week and Weekend
"First Night Alexandria. One of the area's beloved New Year's Eve traditions is Alexandria's family-friendly fireworks show. Leading up to the illuminations, Old Town museums, churches, hotels, and other institutions will host performing arts, live music, and dance parties ($10+ for adults, free for ages under 2). Elvis' Birthday Fight Club. Now in its 15th year, the Elvis' Birthday Fight Club returns to the DC area to uphold this bizarre local tradition."
"Noon Yards. Families are welcome to celebrate the close of 2025 together at Noon Yards Eve. Kids can enjoy a sparkling balloon drop, trackless train rides, bounce houses, glitter tattoos, carnival games, and a magic show at the Sundeck at The Yards DC (free, but registration encouraged). New Year's Eve Swing Ball. Flash back to the era of swing dance at Black Cat's lively big band soiree."
