Update: PorchFest has been postponed, according to a spokesperson with the Adams Morgan BID. Organizers are planning to reschedule the event for sometime in October, although a firm date has not been set yet. Taste of Bethesda, an event that’s been happening for 31 years along Bethesda’s main drag, has also been canceled due to inclement weather, the Bethesda Urban Partnership announced Friday. The event will not be rescheduled.

Original: A dreary forecast is clouding plans for a weekend packed full of outdoor festivals in the D.C. area.

Adams Morgan PorchFest, Georgia Avenue’s Open Streets event, and All Things Go music festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion are all slated to take place on Saturday, when rain from Hurricane Ian is predicted to fall over the region. (According to Capital Weather Gang, it’s uncertain the exact timing and intensity of the rainfall.) While it doesn’t look right now like Ian will bring a major flood risk, a chance of substantial rain on both Saturday and Sunday could make for a soggy afternoon out.

The Georgia Avenue Open Streets event — which will close three miles of the street to vehicles — will take place rain or shine, according to the city’s website. In case of rain, some programming areas along the stretch will be modified.

In Adams Morgan, the Business Improvement District (BID) will be hosting the neighborhood’s tenth annual PorchFest — an afternoon of live music played from porches, patios, and stoops. A spokesperson for the BID told DCist/WAMU that organizers are watching the forecast carefully, and will make a decision on Friday morning. They’d try to reschedule it, the spokesperson says, likely to Oct. 15.  Another hyperlocal fest, Eckington Day, is also taking place on Saturday. A spokesperson with the Eckington Civic Association says they’re planning to go ahead with the event, and modify some of the less rain-friendly activities.

“Bring an umbrella, rain coat, a sense of adventure, and their Seattle/Portland friends!,” ECA president Conor Shaw wrote in an email to DCist/WAMU.

That also seems to be the spirit over at Merriweather Post Pavilion, in Columbia, Maryland, where a bevy of artists are supposed to take the stage at the day-long music fest All Things Go. The venue is certainly no stranger to a sprinkle (or more); it rained for nearly the entire duration of last year’s festival. And in June of this year, flash floods overtook the stage during the Halsey Show That Never Was. Concertgoers were trapped at the venue as heavy rain poured into the amphitheater — rolling down through seats, pooling at the stage, and endangering a squirrel that was punted back into the crowd as it ran for refuge. Halsey finally called the whole thing off after several hours.

Given that the last inclement weather scenario was “literally fucking insane”, DCist/WAMU asked a spokesperson for I.M.P., the company that oversees venues like Merriweather Post Pavilion, the Anthem, and the 9:30 Club, if there were additional precautions in place to prevent another Halsey Nightmare.

“Last year’s All Things Go also had driving, sustained rain and the crowd came out in droves to enjoy the day,” says Audrey Fix Schaefer, a spokesperson for I.M.P. “This year’s festival is sold out, so we expect everyone will show up again in rain boots and jackets and will relish and remember the adventure of it.”

One local event has been cancelled fully in anticipation of the rain, though, is the MPAartfest 2022, scheduled for Sunday in McLean Central Park, has been cancelled. The McClean Project for the Arts made the decision with weather experts and the Fairfax County Park Authority, and the organization is looking at alternative fall events. On Thursday, Alexandria’s annual Art on the Avenue festival announced it would be postponed until Nov. 12.

But if Ian’s only impact locally is at the worst, a cancelled festival, and at the least, an outfit ruined by a raincoat, Washingtonians should be thankful. The storm, expected to reach landfall on Wednesday afternoon, has left Cuba completely without power and is likely to cause severe damage on Florida’s west coast.

This post has been updated to reflect that Art on the Avenue has been postponed until Nov. 12. and Porchfest has been postponed.
