Art walk at the Embassy of Argentina

Take in photographs from Argentinian photographers during First Friday at the Embassy of Argentina. The embassy will display the work of José Andrés Basbus, who is known for his panoramic landscape postcards, and Cotty Oxenford will present Sinapsis, her photo collection of ethereal feathers. And of course, you can always check out the permanent collection, which covers some of the most important artistic movements in Argentina.
Embassy of Argentina, Friday, 6 p.m.-8 p.m.

Sing along with Sesame Street and more

This weekend, the John F. Kennedy Center will pay tribute to 2019 Kennedy Center Honorees. And in addition to the ceremony, that also means free music for you.

The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, Friday, 6 p.m., Saturday, 6 p.m.

Watch festive boats on the Potomac River

Spend your Saturday out on the water at The Wharf’s 28th annual Holiday Boat Parade. The boat parade will kick off at 7 p.m., when 60 festive boats will float down the Potomac River. (Stick around until the end of the parade for a special fireworks finale.) The night will also include ornament painting, beer tasting, an open-pit for s’mores roasting, and a chance to get a photo with Santa. It’s also the annual lighting of The Wharf’s 40-foot tall Christmas tree.

Walk through light installations in the form of pretty lanterns, floating clouds, and tall grass plants.
