It is home of Winterlude in February and the Tulip Festival in May. See the National Capital Commission website (see below) for details. It has many restaurants, shops, and bars to keep you busy. But more than that, it is not as crowded as a major city, and many of its attractions lie in the Byward Market, which is walkable.
