WASHINGTON — The MGM casino and resort at National Harbor is set to open in December, but that’s not all that’s new at the Oxon Hill, Maryland, riverside destination.

Soon to be and newly available elements of National Harbor include an expansion of public art, restaurants, living choices and entertainment — along with old favorites.

Free outdoor movies on the plaza and Urban Pirate cruises offer both family-themed and more adult options.

Date night movies play on Thursdays. Family night movies are on Sundays. The pirate ship offers family adventures and “bring-your-own-grog” excursions.

National Harbor hosts a farmers market every weekend through Nov. 20.

And, people who find shopping entertaining may already know Tanger Outlets is at the top of National Harbor’s hill.

Movie theaters are starting to reopen. Will anyone go?

For the first time in roughly five months, AMC Theatres will pop the popcorn, dim the lights, and start the show. But will anyone buy a ticket?
