It’s looking like a rainy Saturday — the kind that’s good for staying in, getting work done around the house and perhaps watching a bit of college football or playoff baseball (go Nats!).
If you do want to get out of the house Saturday, be sure to check out the Columbia Pike Fall Wine & Craft Beer Festival, the free concert benefitting refugee resettlement and other fine local events.
Sunday brings the 2016 Latino American Festival, Arlington’s annual celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, complete with “live music, authentic Latino food, artistic presentations, games for kids and much more.” That morning, be sure to look out for road closures associated with the Army Ten Miler race.
