If you’re looking for something fun and different to do with the family this fall, something that mixes a little bit of class with a whole lot of fun, we’ve got your Sunday plans covered. Conveniently located in Montgomery County, the DC Polo Society’s Summer Vibes Social Series has one event left at the scenic Congressional Polo Club in Poolesville, and it’s one of our favorite low-key summer gems.
Think wide open fields, beautiful horses, exciting polo matches, and a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere that feels more like a backyard hangout than a sporting event.
Here’s what makes it a win for MoCo families:
🧺 Tailgate Vibes & BYO Picnics
You can reserve a tailgate spot and bring your own setup, blankets, lawn chairs, and your favorite snacks, or enjoy bites from onsite food trucks and local vendors. There’s also a bar if the grownups want to sip something chilled while the kids run around.
🐴 Fast-Paced Polo Matches
Not familiar with polo? No problem. You don’t have to be a pro to enjoy the action. Matches kick off at 2pm with an announcer that will help you be a polo pro in no time.
🎟️ Kids 12 and Under Get in Free
Yep, you read that right, kids 12 and under are free, which makes this one of the most affordable summer outings for families around. Whether your kids are into animals, sports, or just being outside, this is a great way to spend the day.
👒 Big Hats Welcome
Feel free to dress up or keep it casual, it’s your Sunday. But if you’ve got a big sun hat, colorful picnic blanket, or seersucker shorts sitting in your closet, this is the perfect excuse to break them out.
📸 Instagrammable Moments
Between the green fields, the polo action, the festive crowd, and the occasional glam picnic setup, there’s no shortage of great photo ops.
Whether you’re looking for a unique date idea, a new tradition with the kids, or just want to switch up your weekend routine, this summer series is a hidden gem that’s just a stone’s throw from MoCo.
Grab your ticket, pack up the fam, and make a day of it. This is fall done right.
