Where/When: , 3500 K St. NW, Washington. Open on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

3. Washington National Opera performs "Iphigénie en Tauride"

Why Go: According to The Kennedy Center's website, "Iphigénie, high priestess of Taurus, is tormented by dreams of her family's bloody past and intimations of violence in the future. Will she accede to the barbaric King Thoas' demands and murder her own brother? Can she survive in this world of bloodshed and fear?" Saturday will be your last night to find out. The shows closes this weekend.
Pricing: Tickets range from $65 to $300.
4.
Where/When: , 1911 Fort Myer Dr., Arlington. Friday, 8 p.m.
Why Go: A movie under the stars on a warm spring evening? Great. "Tommy Boy" (starring Chris Farley and David Spade) under the stars on a warm spring evening? Even better!
Pricing: Free to attend.
5.
Where/When: , 1819 35th St. NW, Georgetown.
Why Go: Skip the mall this weekend and peruse the flea market at your own pace.
