There are events galore this weekend celebrating the ol’ Red, White & Blue. A few of the highlights: Uncle Sam Jam at National Harbor, Saturday

The Uncle Sam Jam has one interesting lineup. The headliners are Blind Melon, best known for the ’90s hit “No Rain” and a video featuring a girl in a bee costume, now touring again after the 1995 death of lead singer Shannon Hoon. Also on the bill are the Wailers, which became famous working with the departed Bob Marley. And Virginia’s own Pat McGee. Plus a number of other bands and DJs. Food and drink are plentiful.
