Before you enter hibernation mode, bundle up and make a day visiting some of our favorite spots in DC. What makes these weekend activities worth braving our first dose of winter weather? They’re all free! From concerts to campfire desserts, we’re saving you money without having to skimp on the fun.
Don’t forget! A free weekend can start with a free ride. Share your personal promo code with someone new to Uber. They’ll get a free ride when they use your code to sign up, and you’ll earn a free ride once they ride.
