Food, Festivals and Boats in DC!

POSTED: Jul 23, 2025

Summer is almost over so it’s time to take advantage of all DC has to offer by boat!

After spending your day on the water, grab some local grub during DC’s Restaurant Week. There are hundreds of restaurants in the metropolitan area serving exclusive entrees at special prices. Take advantage of your access to the waterfront by dining out at area restaurants like The Daily Grill and Sea Catch.

Get your fill of crabs and beer at the 6th Annual Chesapeake Crab and Beer Festival on August 22, 2015. Join the rest of the Old Bay fanatics at National Harbor that weekend. If crabs aren’t your thing, then head over to Rosslyn Outdoor Film Festival at Gateway Park in Arlington. See below for more details in the events and more.
