Montgomery County
Summer Vacay Weekend Getaway
Plan Your Weekend the MoCo Way
This summer, you don’t have to go far to make a big splash. Plan a weekend getaway in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Hike scenic trails along the Potomac River and soak in the views of Great Falls. Sail across the lake at Black Hill Regional Park or paddle around on whimsical duck or dragon at rio in Gaithersburg. Wander through the artwork at Glenstone Museum and relax at a farm brewery or winery. Swing by Topgolf Germantown for friendly competition or bring the whole family to explore stories of the Underground Railroad at the Josiah Henson Museum & Park. Treat yourself to deals at Clarksburg Premium Outlets and discover one-of-a-kind finds at a local boutique. Savor flavors from around the world at our diverse restaurants and cap off your evening with a rooftop cocktail in downtown Bethesda. Watch an outdoor performance at Olney Theatre. Step out of your comfort zone and climb through the trees at The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring. Take a summer vacay weekend getaway or staycation in Maryland’s Cultural Capital.
