Weather:  DC is looking slightly rainy with some thunder storms, but don’t fret. Your Sunday Fundays and boozy brunch dates are still in tact with sunny skies and a high of 75.

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: Food and wine lovers should hit up the Food & Wine Festival at the national harbor; Check out the opening of the new beer garden at Denizens Brewing Company; Be green and celebrate Earth Day by participating in the Cleanup Celebration; DC’s 30th Annual Film Fest is happening; Pregame at the Bullpen and support our Washington Nationals. 

#WATCH

If you’ve been to our events, then you already know. If you haven’t, you’re missing out.

We created FOMO.

There’s no destination that’s too small, too big, or too far for FDC Media. From Miami to Boulder and Las Vegas, to right back here in our nation’s capital – not only are we there, we’re making big things happen. We bring together the perfect audience for the perfect experience. We’re creating conversations and we don’t plan on stopping. We’re just getting started.

High fives are the best way to acknowledge someone’s existence.

In celebration of National High Five Day, we sent our panda out to do just that. Because who wouldn’t want a little love from a panda?
