Where/When: Congressional Country Club, 8500 River Rd., Bethesda. Daily through Sunday.

Why Go: It's been 14 years since the U.S. Open was played locally and if you're one of the lucky ticket-holders, this weekend should prove to be a beautiful one to spend outdoors with highs in the upper 80s.

Where/When: , 22200 Davis Mill Rd, Germantown. Daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Why Go: Skip the grocery store and stock up your kitchen with fresh, local produce, eggs, dairy and other pantry items at Butler's Orchard. They also sell ice cream, and the opportunity to pick your own produce from their fields.

Pricing: Product prices vary.

3.

Where/When: , 117 N. Frederick Ave., Gaithersburg. Sunday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Why Go: Make your dad feel like a king on Father's Day by treating him to a Peruvian feast for breakfast.

Pricing: Breakfast is free for all dads! Prices for menu items vary.

4. "Wicked" at The Kennedy Center

Where/When: The Kennedy Center, 2700 F St., NW, Washington. Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Why Go: You don't have to head to New York City to catch one of the past decade's most popular Broadway shows. "Wicked" is returning to Washington and tickets are selling out fast. Treat yourself to a night out on the town - you can even pretend you're strolling down the Great White Way!

Pricing: Tickets range in price from $37 to $250.

5. Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles

Where/When: Nationals Park, 1500 South Capitol St., SE, Washington. Friday, 7:05 p.m. Saturday, 1:05 p.m. Sunday, 1:35 p.m.

Why Go: So you missed the boat on U.S. Open tickets and the performance of "Wicked" that you wanted to catch is already sold-out. Why not spend some time outdoors at the ballpark? Better yet, treat dad - after all, it is Father's Day on Sunday!

Pricing: Ticket prices vary.
