What’s on your radar? Here’s what we’ve got:
FRIDAY:

De La Soul with Butta Verses and ESL’s Thunderball and Federico Aubele at the 9:30 Club. Doors open at 10 p.m. $20.
In a Halloween state of mind? Why not try a Capital Hauntings Walk?

SATURDAY:
We’re all on that quest – to find true, romantic, earth-shattering love. So what better place to start than at a casting call for the next season of ABC’s “The Bachelor“? From 10 a.m.-6 p.m., if you go to the Grand Hyatt Washington on H Street, you could be the next Trista or Ryan.

The Church of the Pilgrims hosts their Fall Arts and Crafts Festival from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on 21st Street between P and Q streets. Learn ballet, adopt a pet, climb the church tower, and check out a street full of crafts.
SUNDAY:
