This weekend, celebrate the (eventual) coming of spring with a artisan market in Brookland, a meatball contest (yes), and a Logan Hardware party.

There are ways to observe Veterans Day, the beginning of holiday lights season, and a free salsa concert in Dupont Circle among the events around D.C. this weekend.

Your weekend plans have arrived: head to a 90’s dance party, honor the late, great Betty White, and paint with some goats.

Swap your homemade (or homegrown) goods with neighbors, attend a peppermint mocha competition, or get in your holiday shopping at the Van Ness market.

It’s festival season: Celebrate Fall Fest in Tysons Corner, Art All Night in all eight wards, clay pottery in Brookland, or Petworth (in Petworth).

The weather’s getting cooler, and the District has a spread of URL and IRL events available: from kid-friendly shows, to arts & music festivals, to a pop-up plant store.

There are Juneteenth celebrations, farmers market days, and more.
