2020 has been a difficult year for restaurants. A few weeks ago we released a list of restaurants that have closed since March 17th.(not necessarily due to Covid, but since the day the initial restrictions were put in place).

While that list is long, there are still plenty of restaurants planning to open in MoCo in 2021.


A popular holiday tradition for many in our area includes going to see the Washington D.C. Temple Festival of Lights.

Located in Kensington, the Festival of Lights at the Washington D.C. LDS Temple is usually open to the public, allowing visitors to walk around the grounds under the beautiful lights and take in free performances at the Visitors Center.
