Seven Must Stops for a Sunday Funday this fall at National Harbor
From Brunch to Shopping, Attractions and More, Here’s How to Spend a Sunday on the Waterfront

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., Sept. 23, 2026—Looking for a great way to spend a Sunday? Head to National Harbor and make a day of it.

Located along the Potomac River just minutes from Washington, D.C., National Harbor offers plenty of ways to turn the last day of the weekend into a mini getaway. Start with a waterfront walk, browse the shops, take in an attraction, stop for brunch while overlooking the Potomac.

Whether planning a day with friends, a family outing, a date or simply looking for a change of scenery, here are some ways to do Sunday right at National Harbor.

Start the Day with a Waterfront Stroll
Get your steps in along the 1.2 miles of shoreline. With views of the Capital Wheel and Alexandria, VA, it’ll be sure to get the juices going. Veer off the path and explore more than $11 million in public outdoor art. https://www.nationalharbor.com/things-to-do/arts-culture/guide-by-cell/

Brunch
Sundays are meant for brunch and with National Harbor’s wide selection of restaurants, you’re sure to find the perfect spot. Friends, family, whoever can find everything from all day brunch at Silver Diner
to lobster benedict at Walrus Oyster & Ale House. Nobody will leave hungry at MGM National Harbor’s Osteria Coast’s brunch buffet. Explore National Harbor’s brunch options: https://www.nationalharbor.com/blog/capitalize-on-brunch/.

Take a Ride on The Capital Wheel
See the Potomac from a completely different perspective aboard The Capital Wheel. Rising 180 feet above the river, the observation wheel offers sweeping views from climate-controlled gondolas. After the ride, stop at Flight Deck for a beverage and spend some time by the firepits and enjoy the waterfront views.

Make Your Own Candle
For a more relaxing hands-on activity, visit Wigenton Candle Co. and create a custom candle. Choose a favorite scent and make a personalized candle to take home as a reminder of the day.

Sing Your Heart Out
Make Sunday a little more entertaining with a stop at Live-K Karaoke. Family-friendly karaoke is available during the day on Saturdays and Sundays, making it an option for visitors of all ages. Ladies, grab your crew and head to Bobby McKey’s Dueling Piano for their monthly Boozy Brunch.

Move the Chains
Catch all the NFL action with hundreds of screens at Tom’s Watch Bar. The 360 viewing experience makes every seat the best seat in the house. Game day eats are elevated from fan-favorite classics to bold flavors, the menu is crafted to satisfy every craving.

Shop and Stroll
Discover exceptional deals on the designer brands you know and love at Tanger Outlets National Harbor. Then, head down to the vibrant Waterfront District, where you can stroll along the water and discover a collection of unique local boutiques and specialty shops.

With restaurants, shops, waterfront events, attractions and entertainment all within walking distance, National Harbor makes it easy to spend an entire Sunday doing as much—or as little—as you like.
