| |  | | |  DC Walkabout As the only tour company in DC to combine historical audio excerpts, music, storytelling, and sound effects, DC Walkabout offers its guests a rich and dynamic experience. Hear FDR's own voice bring the FDR Memorial to life, the sounds of the March on Washington illuminate the story of MLK, President Eisenhower on the Korean War, along with thoroughly researched interesting facts, stories, untold histories, secrets, and sound effects. These walking tours bring the past alive; they are more than walking tours -- each one is its own Walkumentary. Tours include American Scandal, Lincoln Assassination, National Mall, Cherry Blossoms, Haunted History, and Capitol Hill. | |  | |  78th Annual Flower Mart Since 1939, on the first Friday and Saturday of May, the All Hallows Guild has welcomed visitors to the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral for Flower Mart.
