Celebrate Juneteenth or Pride, watch Euro 2024 soccer with international crowds, jam at a blues festival or have fun at Columbia Heights Day.
Juneteenth festivals, concerts and family events dominate the coming days, but there’s so much else to do: Pride celebrations ranging from cheese tasting to Beyoncé-inspired soirees; the kickoff of the Euro 2024 soccer tournament; dueling blues festivals in Arlington and Silver Spring; anniversary parties at local breweries and nightspots; a documentary film festival; an exhibit dedicated to street art and sneakers; and a trivia night focused on “Glee.
The European soccer championship kicks off in Germany this weekend, with two dozen countries vying to dethrone Euro 2020 winner Italy. Given the number of international soccer fans in D.C., lively viewing parties will take place across the city, at events sponsored by embassies as well as neighborhood watering holes. Kickoffs in the opening round take place at 9 a.m., noon or 3 p.m. D.C. time — much friendlier hours for bars than the last World Cup.
The Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation throws its Juneteenth 2024 celebration at Watkins Regional Park in Upper Marlboro. Visitors can immerse themselves in living history demonstrations, help paint murals or join dance lessons. Entertainment includes the Chuck Brown Band and Trouble Funk, while vendors sell food, drinks and crafts.
For its 18th year, the Nordic Jazz Festival, hosted at jazz club Blues Alley by the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, is bringing Swedish folk melodies mixed with modern New York jazz in the form of the Oskar Stenmark Sextet & 45 Riots.
