MOVIE: Fred Rogers, a.k.a. iconic children’s television host Mister Rogers, passed away six years ago, but the AFI Silver Theatre is hosting an event tonight for the annual “Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Day,” which honors Rogers’ birthday. Catch a special screening of My Tale of Two Cities, a film about the city of Pittsburgh and its relationship to the real-life Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, at 7 p.m. The documentary includes interviews with famous Pittsburghers Franco Harris, Teresa Heinz Kerry and former treasury secretary Paul O’Neill. We’re told Harris and Mr. McFeely himself will be in attendance for post-screening q&a. Tickets are $10.

JAZZ: Wynton Marsalis has been the face of American jazz for the past 20 years, and tonight, he will be leading the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at the Kennedy Center for an 8 p.m. concert. Tickets are sold out, but it might be worth checking with the box office for last-minute cancellations.

MOVIE: Director David Simpson brings his newest documentary, Milking the Rhino, to National Geographic’s Grosvenor Auditorium tonight for its D.C. premiere. The film focuses on two of the planet’s oldest cattle-raising cultures, the Maasai of Kenya and the Himbia of Namibia, as they struggle to adapt their way of life to the expectations of the environmental and wildlife preservation communities. A Q&A with Simpson follows the screening. 7:30 p.m., $18.

READING: At 7 p.m., the 14th Street Busboys and Poets is celebrating the first release from Busboys and Poets Press, with author E. Ethelbert Miller and his book, The Fifth Inning, “a combination of baseball and the blues.” Free in the Langston Room.

MUSIC: With three Pogues dates this St. Patrick’s Day week at the 9:30 Club, if you’re really feeling the need to rock, you’re bound to be able to score some off of Craigslist for tonight’s show.
