We love music. One of our favorite things to do in the summer time is to go to outdoor concerts. Of course, the ones I really love are the free or almost free outdoor concerts. This post is being sponsored by Marlow Motor to share with you Free & Almost Free Outdoor Concerts in Washington DC.
Outdoor concerts are a fun way to experience the joy of a concert, usually without the cost, and it is also a great way to introduce the kids to new types of music. You can even see what you like without having to worry about paying for a ticket. Seeing a show in person is always more exciting than just listening to the music or even watching a center on tv.
