Nothing says summertime like… bagpipes? Okay, sure, Folger Library, we’re willing to take you at your word. Tonight at 7 p.m., the Shakespeare Library presents a free bagpipe concert in its Elizabethan Garden featuring musical talent Piobaireachd. Folger also recommends you try their Haggis recipe, dating back to 1610. Mmmm if its one thing I love in the DC heat, its delicious boiled meats. All kidding aside, check out free highland bagpipes tunes on a gorgeous June evening, tonight!
