Jazz in the Garden Every Friday Evening
Every Friday evening through the end of August, enjoy a picnic and a wide variety of live jazz at the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden next to the grand reflecting pool and fountain.

Sounds like a great way to spend a Friday evening. Except for the no wine part!
