Don't know how you're sending off 2016? Here are a few ideas!
Volunteer at First Night Alexandria! Kids from 1 to 92 (and beyond, hey, good for you) welcome at this family-friendly block party featuring music and performances from 26 different artists and groups.
Stuck for a sitter? Northwest Settlement House, accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, is offering overnight childcare.
Everyone is welcome at New Queer's Eve All That Glitters is Gold bash. Dress code: Dapper AF. (Seriously, that's what it says).
Support some of the District's most creative artists and performers at New Year's Eve pARTy at Dance Loft on 14. You'll see living art installations, you can dance, paint, even get your body painted!
Not so much of a night owl? Prefer to do your celebrating in the daylight? How about a Southern seafood brunch, courtesy of Mariby Corpening's Madly Giving program. A portion of proceeds goes to help families in PG County.
Want to knock out an accomplishment right away? Starting at 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, Girls on the Run Northern Virginia is hosting a virtual 5K. Hey, if you get in your 3.1 in heels, that's some serious Facebook bragging you can do.
Didn't get a New Year's Eve kiss? How about kicking off 2017 with a little puppy love? Sign up to be a driver for this Lucky Dog adoption event on Jan. 1
Another option: Volunteer at Mayor Bowser's Fresh Start 5K, part of the Serve DC program to encourage volunteerism and make our communities stronger.
