A packed week includes the return of Filmfest D.C., the National Cannabis Festival, Earth Day activities and a Formula One car on Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
The cherry blossoms are gone, but spring really shifts into high gear this weekend — and we’re not just saying that because a Formula One car is racing up and down Pennsylvania Avenue NW on Saturday afternoon. Filmfest DC officially opens Thursday, Earth Day activities abound, the National Cannabis Festival returns, National Park Week begins, Saturday is Record Store Day and there are plenty of delicious beverages to sip.
Downtown’s beloved Landmark E Street Cinema is the site of most of the screenings for Filmfest DC, the Washington film festival now in its 38th year. This year’s 10-day festival spans 65 films from 32 countries, including selections from the Arabian Sights Film Festival, which merged with Filmfest DC in 2020.
Organizers hope the National Cannabis Festival eventually grows into “South by Southwest for cannabis lovers,” with advocacy events and the National Cannabis Championship among the festivities surrounding the festival, held the weekend of 4/20 at the RFK Festival Grounds. But the two-day concert remains the major draw, and this year’s edition might be the biggest ever, headlined by Wu-Tang Clan and Redman on Saturday. Thundercat tops the bill Friday night, but the lineup is loaded with D.C.
