Music in the Circle: Free Concerts in Dupont Circle

Music in the Circle, the crowd favorite free music series in Dupont Circle Park, is BACK for 2026! On non-holiday Saturdays from 12 - 3 PM, you can enjoy live music right here in Dupont Circle Park for FREE. Performers and genres change every weekend, so check out the schedule below to see who's rocking the Circle! RSVP at the link to get your free ticket to each session. Music in the Circle runs through the spring, summer, and some of the fall, so Dupont Circle remains a Saturday afternoon destination for fans of live music!

To kick off this music series, we picked a very special band. On Saturday, March 28th, we will be joined by DC pop rock band The Montaines! Described as delivering “sticky guitar riffs and romantic songs that sound like they belong on a 2014 Tumblr playlist,” the band’s live show is nothing short of exhilarating. From slow-burning tracks like “Helicopter” to their upcoming pop-forward releases, The Montaines channel the emotional weight and sonic ambition of artists like The 1975, LCD Soundsystem, and more — while carving out a space entirely their own. The Montaines are sure to make you groove and dance. Enjoy the free live music and the early spring weather on Saturday, March 28th.
