DC shows a different face at night when theaters, nightclubs and sports venues come to life with entertainment options. Wind down after your day of sightseeing or business meetings by catching a concert, a basketball game or a provocative play.
Theatre Tickets... Going for a Song

If you're making last-minute plans for a night at the theater, stop by the TICKETPLACE booth, located in downtown's Penn Quarter arts district (7th Street between D & E Streets, NW) and run by the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington DC.

There you can get half-priced, day-of-show or advance sale tickets for theater seats at Signature Theatre, the Kennedy Center, Folger Theatre, Imagination Stage and more. It's open Wed. through Fri. from 11am-6pm; Sat. from 10am-5pm; and Sun. from 12pm-4pm. Or, advance planners can purchase tickets online at TICKETPLACE.org.

DC After Dark

When the sun sets, head out for a night on the town. Storied venues like the 9:30 Club, Blues Alley and Bohemian Caverns are must-sees for music-minded travelers, while downtown lounges attract a chic and fashionable international crowd. Emerging neighborhoods like the Atlas District are also staking a claim with edgy nightlife. Plan your night on the town here...
