March is here, which means it’s time for fake spring—that awkward phase where it’s warm one day, freezing the next, and you have no idea what jacket to wear.
But soon, we’ll have cherry blossoms, patio brunches, and that urge to “spring clean” everything in sight.
If you’re looking for a fun excuse to get out of the house, here's what’s on tap this weekend:
#1 Alexandria St. Patrick’s Day Parade
If you love a good parade, this is the one to catch—bagpipers, Irish dancers, and all the green you can handle. The parade marches through Old Town, and it’s the perfect excuse to grab brunch, explore local spots, and make a day of it.
Saturday, Mar 1st
Starts at 12:30 PM
King Street, Old Town Alexandria
#2 Mardi Gras Celebration at The Wharf
If you’ve ever thought, I wanna do Mardi Gras, but like… without the chaos of Bourbon Street, this is for you. A colorful parade, live music, and a fireworks show over the water. Plus, an excellent excuse for a fancy cocktail.
Saturday, Mar 1st
3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
760 Maine Ave SW (The Wharf DC)
#3 Oyster Fest at Dirt Farm Brewing (Fresh Oysters + Mountain View)
Okay, this is the place to go if you wanna escape the city for the day. Imagine sitting outside, eating freshly shucked oysters, all with a gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop. Relaxed, scenic, and great if you're craving a little reset.
Saturday, Mar 1st
12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
18701 Foggy Bottom Rd, Bluemont, VA (Dirt Farm Brewing)
#4 Improv for All (Yes, you can do this. No, you don’t have to be funny.)
If you’ve ever wanted to loosen up, boost confidence, or just have a good laugh, this is a safe, low-stakes way to do it. A one-hour improv class for total beginners—no pressure, just fun. Perfect if you need a little main character energy boost.
Saturday, Mar 1st
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
1501 14th Street Northwest, DC (Studio Theatre)
#5 Spring Vision Board Workshop (Spring cleaning… but for your goals)
You know how spring cleaning makes your space feel fresh? This is the same idea—but for your goals, dreams, and plans. If you’ve been meaning to map out what’s next (career, travel, wellness, home projects), this workshop is like a reset button for your vision—with scissors, glue, and good company.
Saturday, Mar 1st
3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
1121 King Street Alexandria, VA 22314
