So, I'm going out to the Washington DC area in early March. I'll be staying out near Dulles airport, and wandering through the Air & Space museum facility around there. As well as heading down to the Mall at least once to hit up the main Smithsonian A&S museum.
Is there anything 914-ish going on the 7th/8th?

In fact I'd go to Udvar Hazy instead of going to the old location for the Air and Space museum. Its that much better.
I'd go to UH, Skip A&S and check out some of the other fantastic museums around the DC mall area. International Spy Museum, Holocaust, any of the other Smithsonians.

The Udvar-Hazy is why I am staying out at Dulles. I plan on spending at least a couple of days there.
Any 914 stuff going on in the area, though?

Anyhting 914 related would be a few states south at Amelia Island for the Porsche Werks Reunion 914 50th birthday party.

There are Cars and Coffee nearby - There is one Sunday in Sterling at Dulles Landing. I've taken my 914/6 once or twice. I am about 10 min from U-H as well. Check as well for one at Intersport Performance in Ashburn Va (Just north of U-H). Not 914 centric, but Porsche centric. They've just opened this location and have had a few on Saturdays.
But if you are going to hit just "one" cars and coffee - it would be Katies ( https://oldbrogue.com/event/katies-cars-coffee/all/ ) , early Sat AM in Great Falls. Lots of monied folks and some nice old classics usually are in attendance.. Porsches, Lancias, Alfas, Ferraris, stately benzes etc. Its not california, but its how some get by
No real local PCA events - not til 3/22 and later (AX, and DE events)
As others mentioned, the U-H facility is fantastic. My son loves going there so we've been several times. $15-20 to "park", but then the exhibits are free... Downtown is nice too, but it feels cramped in comparison, but they have some nice stuff to check out.
Good call on Katie's cars and coffee. If you go, you need to go early (e.g., NLT 7:30 am). Parking is limited, and it's very well attended when weather is nice. There's more money than brains there, in general. More than one guy has totaled his Ferrari (or Lambo...or Mustang) heading out of there on the twistys around Great Falls.
Did Intersport finally move? I've been meaning to check out the new location, and I'm in NoVA for a few days...
