This Weekend in D.C.

by Kjersti Wasiak

Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet: This Saturday, May 24, a new temporary exhibit opens at the United States Botanic Gardens. One of the main focuses of the exhibit are 40 globe sculptures. The title of the new exhibit is called One Planet - Ours! Sustainability for the 22nd Century. It continues until October 13, 2008, so there is plenty of time to get over there before it closes and probably less crowded opportunities than this Memorial Day weekend.

National Memorial Day Parade: The National Memorial Day parade is on Monday, May 26, at 2pm between the Capital and the White House on Constitution Avenue.

PBS National Memorial Day Concert: This concert is hosted by Gary Sinise (Mac on CSI: New York) and Joe Mantegna (David Rossi on Criminal Minds) and is held on the Capital West Lawn. This year’s concert will be on Sunday, May 25, at 8pm and if you cannot catch it in person check your local PBS station to watch it on television.
