15TH ANNUAL PARADE OF TRABANTS
Families can learn a bit of history—and have some fun too—with the Cold War–
era Trabant car. The International Spy Museum holds the only Trabant rally in the
United States, bringing the rare East German cars (rumored to have been made of
cardboard) to L’Enfant Plaza. Experts will be on hand to share stories over festive
music from the Alte Kameraden German Band. Enter a raffle to win a ride in a
Trabant, try some Berlin-style graffiti or climb into tiny spaces in the way those
escaping East Berlin did. Free. spymuseum.org
