Activities
It just makes perfect sense: old-timey, finger-picking, giving-it-their-all bluegrass players on one of the area's most historic monuments: the USS Potomac.
On June 8, the ship will host a foot-stomping bluegrass concert. Sit, or more likely, dance outside under the stars to fiddlers, banjo players, and throat-busting singers, as they romp through their original tunes and traditional classics from the American songbook. This concert is part of the Pickin' on the Potomac concert series.
The Potomac opens for tours at 6:30 pm. The concert goes from 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm.

More than a quarter of a million people have visited and sailed aboard the former President's beloved USS Potomac, since it opened to the public in the summer of 1995.
