Thursday, Oct. 1
One Year in the Saddle at Desert 5 Spot
Union Market’s “Urban Cowboy” bar Desert 5 Spot marks its first birthday this weekend, full of live music, mechanical bull rides, happy hours and football viewing. It gets underway on Thursday night with a performance by up-and-coming country singer-songwriter Laci Kaye Booth, whose self-proclaimed “sad-girl songs” have been earning praise in Nashville and beyond. In fact, Booth is headed out to Oklahoma and Texas next week for a short run of dates opening for Ella Langley. (Yes, that Ella Langley.) The Pink Stones and Shawn Parsons and Friends are also on the bill. The show begins at 8 p.m.; arrive earlier for happy hour specials, including $9 cocktails and $5 beers and hard seltzers, beginning at 5:30 p.m. 8 p.m. Free; RSVP requested.
Orquesta Manplesa at NaLa Noches
Audiences can’t keep their bodies from moving to the vibrant horns and perky percussion of D.C. salsa group Orquesta Manplesa. At National Landing’s Metropolitan Park this Thursday, you can learn some appropriate steps, too. The group performs outside from 5 to 7 p.m., and during set breaks, Ballston’s Inspira Dance studio leads free beginner salsa lessons. The evening also includes art activities organized by Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, free Topo Chico, and snacks available for purchase from Peruvian Brothers. 5 to 7 p.m. Free.
Myths, Legends, Lore, and the Female Stranger at Port City Brewing
The Female Stranger is one of Alexandria’s most famous residents, even if no one knows her true identity. A veiled woman and a man claiming to be her husband arrived by ship in 1816. She died at Gatsby’s Tavern soon after and is memorialized with an elaborate table tomb in the city’s Wilkes Street Cemetery Complex, while her spirit is said to haunt the tavern. Representatives from Historic Alexandria discuss the myths and theories that have sprung up around the Female Stranger in the ensuing centuries during a Halloween-ish talk in the Port City Brewing taproom. 5 to 7:30 p.m. Free.
‘Maryland Witches’ Book Talk and Signing with the Greenbelt Museum
When you think of witches in early America, you probably think of Salem, Massachusetts. But Maryland had its own stories of spells and witchcraft in the colonial days, from Moll Dyer, an accused witch who allegedly left an imprint of her hand in a large rock in St. Mary’s County, to Rebecca Fowler, accused of witchcraft by an indentured servant, who became the first, and only, woman hanged for witchcraft in 1685. Learn more about Maryland’s historic witches during a seasonal talk with Trish Hoffman, the author of “Maryland Witches” and “Ghosts and Haunted Houses of Maryland,” at the Greenbelt Municipal Building. 7 p.m. Free.
‘Swann Queen’ at Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library
On April 13, 1888, D.C. police raided a party on F Street NW where, The Washington Post reported, a group of Black men were dining dressed in gowns and wigs “decked out with ribbons in a style that was simply dazzling.” The organizer of this event, and many others, was William Dorsey Swann, a formerly enslaved man who proclaimed himself “the queen of drag.” A new short film about him, “Swann Queen,” is the centerpiece of this LGBTQ+ History Month event at the main branch of the D.C. Public Library. D.C. drag stars Pussy Noir and King Molasses star in the film. A performance following the screening features drag queens Hennessey and Mas, as well as remarks from director L. Cedeño Miller. 7 p.m. Free.
Yappy Hour at American Ice Company
Dogs aren’t welcome on every restaurant patio, but they’re loved at American Ice Company. After an extended summer hiatus, AmIce is bringing back its monthly Yappy Hour, with $5 Narragansett beers and $2 off wines for humans, and puppuccinos and swag for pups. One dollar from each sale of a special “American Frenchie” cocktail made with Tito’s Vodka benefits the Brandywine Valley SPCA throughout October. 6 to 8 p.m. Free.
Vintage Designer Night at Vintage Vintage Vintage
Have you ever wanted to shop vintage designer pieces but haven’t had the chance to, or the price just wasn’t quite right? The vintage store in Union Market, stuffed with vintage finds inside an old bank, is taking visitors back inside the bank vault to shop archival designer pieces sourced and curated by the collective’s vendors. You’ll probably find “rare and collectible” shirts, jackets and shoes from brands like Chanel, Prada, Fendi, Christian Dior and more, all in one place. While you’re shopping, sip on a drink from the Je m’appelle Hugo Spritz Bar by Pastis, which is included with your ticket. Early access begins at 6 p.m., and general admission opens at 7:30 p.m. 6 to 9 p.m. $24.
Friday, Oct. 2
Broadcast: One Year of Transmission
One year ago, Transmission opened a multilevel nightclub in the former Rock & Roll Hotel building on H Street NE. They’ve welcomed a wide variety of performers since — techno and house DJs, format-free dance parties, punk bands, rappers. That’s the kind of diversity you’ll find over this three-day anniversary festival, with more than 40 acts slated to appear. Friday, for example, includes UK dubstep don Plastician, dance-punk band Clear Channel, local drum’n’bass veteran DJ Dee Clark, and indie country band Heaven Forbid. Check out the full schedule on the venue’s website. Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m.; Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. $29.88-$53.78 per day; $90 for three-day pass.
If All the Trees Were Pens: Book Launch and Anniversary at the American Poetry Museum
If All the Trees Were Pens is a creative community housed at the American Poetry Museum in Brookland and is celebrating its fourth anniversary. Every first and third Friday of the month, it brings D.C. artists, poets and writers under one roof for an open mic, where anyone — new and familiar — can sign up to share their work. It will cycle into community writing workshops later in the month that feed its annual publication. Its newest anthology, which features art, poems and writing from friends who have attended the space over the years and helped make it what it is, will be showcased and the collab book available on-site for purchase. Alongside the book launch, the poetry community is gathering with its usual mix of poetry readings but this time, with music and live T-shirt printing. 6 to 9 p.m. $10.
Movie Night Under the Stars: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ at the Stacks
If you thought outdoor movies had faded away after Labor Day, you’re wrong. The Stacks community, located on Buzzard Point south of Audi Field, is hosting a pair of evening screenings in October. The month begins with “Top Gun: Maverick,” a piece of cinema that deserves to been seen on a screen bigger than the one in your living room. Show up early to claim chairs or hammocks, or bring your own seating. Free popcorn is available while supplies last. 7 p.m. Free.
‘Cooking Up History: The Global Journey of Macaroni and Cheese’ at the National Museum of American History
If you’ve heard anything about the history of macaroni and cheese, it’s probably the untrue stories that President Thomas Jefferson, or one of his enslaved chefs, introduced the dish on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. But mac and cheese, found everywhere — at toddler dinners, soul food cookouts and fancy restaurants, has a history dating to ancient Rome. Culinary historian Karima Moyer-Nocchi, an expert on Italian cuisine, discusses her new book, “The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese,” with a focus on how Caribbean chefs experimented and reshaped the simple dish into national cuisine. Noon to 1 p.m. Free.
Saturday, Oct. 3
Oktoberfest at the Wharf
One of D.C.’s most beloved and chaotic Oktoberfest traditions features 140 dachshunds running, gamboling or being cajoled down a 70-foot-long racetrack on a pier at the Wharf. The Wiener 500, now in its 14th year, is the centerpiece of the Wharf’s seasonal festivities, with dachshunds of various sizes and colors taking turns racing in heats, six at a time, as humans crane to see the action, which takes place low to the ground, or on jumbo video screens overhead. Away from the track, there’s a beer garden, a stein-holding contest, a best-dressed contest (for people) and adoptable dogs to meet: This big day out is a fundraiser for Rural Dog Rescue. 2 to 6 p.m. Free.
Montgomery County Harvest Festival
Kids can explore life on a farm — as it was in the 18th, 19th or early 20th centuries — at the Agricultural History Farm Park’s Harvest Festival. Meet farm animals and watch sheepdog herding demonstrations, create a cornhusk doll and dip candles, go on a haywagon ride, and learn about chores ranging from laundry to Tom Sawyer-esque fence whitewashing. There are more modern amusements, too, like pumpkin painting and scarecrow stuffing. Entertainment comes from multiple stages of musicians and puppets, and food trucks will be on-site. Most activities are free, but some have an extra fee. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. $20 per car, cash only.
Home Rule Music Festival at Alethia Tanner Park
The Home Rule Music Festival brought the Sun Ra Arkestra and Melanie Charles (among others) to the Parks at Walter Reed in June.

Off stage, look for mural painting, a record fair, food and drink vendors, and a kids’ zone with games. Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. Free; VIP $108.55.
Del Rey Art on the Avenue
More than 300 artists of all stripes line a half-mile stretch of Mount Vernon Avenue through the heart of Alexandria’s Del Rey neighborhood, creating one of the area’s largest art markets. Whether you’re looking for painting, pottery, handmade birdhouses, funky jewelry, housewares or clothing, you’ll find it in one of the colorful booths. Music rings out from four stages, while a food court serves lunch, and kids can try different crafting activities.

A free trolley is available from both the King Street and Potomac Yard Metro stations. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free.

While many local Pride events take place in June, Annapolis celebrates LGBTQ History Month with a parade and festival in October.

Rosslyn Fall Fest at NOW Pop-up Park
Fall isn’t fall without its things: apple cider, pumpkin painting and leaves falling. At the Rosslyn Fall Fest, you’ll find all of that and more, where live music from soul musician Justina Beth-El and the band Loyal Skeptics will fill the neighborhood. Local beer and cider in flights and pints, plus wine from Screwtop Wine Bar, will take care of the drinks. For the kids, there will be pumpkin decorating, a corn maze, inflatables and lawn games, as well as a ring toss to keep them busy. For the adults, practice your axe-throwing skills and get competitive with your friends, or shop seasonal vendors like Beez Wax Candle, Holartian Jewelry and Soap Farm. You can spend the entire afternoon outside, with food trucks and fall-themed treats on hand just in case you’re in the mood for some comfort food. 1 to 6 p.m. Free.
Vienna Oktoberfest
The Vienna Oktoberfest takes over the Town Green and surrounding streets for a large, festive block party. There are three stages of entertainment, including traditional German music, singing princesses and Latin rock.

College Park Day
Stuffed between Washington and Baltimore is College Park, home to the University of Maryland and communities that love where they live. Celebrate just that with the city’s annual festival, better known as College Park Day, dedicated to the city and the people who make it what it is. This year’s festival puts a special spotlight on entertainment, with a main stage featuring Taylor Swift tribute acts and two DMV bands. A family stage will have kid-friendly interactive shows with children’s music, while the community stage will host a Latin dance competition and a performance from U-Md.’s own Gymkhana troupe, a South Asian fusion dance team. Find carnival games, a helicopter fly-in and wandering performers doing tricks in the streets. If you’re more of a stroller, don’t worry: There’s a market with more than 20 local artists selling handmade goods, alongside food vendors from local restaurants and breweries. Your attendance gets you free admission to explore the historic aircraft inside the College Park Aviation Museum. Parking can be tricky in the construction-heavy city, but free parking will be available near the site, along with a free shuttle service. The festival is also just minutes from the College Park-UMD Metro station, so you can make a whole day of it. 12 to 6 p.m. Free.
Fiesta Fairfax
In Old Town Square this weekend, you’ll find a fiesta celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. That means a celebration of Latino culture that begins and ends with music, food and, of course, dancing. The event is hosted by the Fiesta Fairfax Foundation, which provides scholarships to Latino students pursuing higher education and grants supporting the local Latino community. Fairfax County is home to a sizable Latino population, with Latinos making up about 20 percent of residents. While the full lineup of performers, food vendors and exhibitors has not yet been announced, you can expect local and traditional folkloric dances from various countries, live music and nonprofit organizations sharing information about services available to the community.

Oktoberfest at Henceforth
H Street brewpub Henceforth is the last D.C. brewery to put a festbier on tap for Oktoberfest, but seeing how good they are with traditional beer styles — like the recent note-perfect Altbier — it might be worth the wait. The release party includes live music from the Alpine Singers; a menu featuring sausages, schnitzel and other German foods; a selection of German wine; and face painting and activities for the kids. Noon to 6 p.m. Free.
LGBTQ+ Cemetery Tour at Congressional Cemetery
Historic Congressional Cemetery is one of the only cemeteries in the world with a dedicated LGBTQ+ area. If youwant to explore it for yourself, meet at the cemetery’s front gate for a guided tour that shares the stories of queer activists and the role D.C. played in the gay rights movement.

Movie at the Mill: ‘Frankenstein’ at Colvin Run Mill
Imagine this: “Frankenstein” on a big screen under the stars with a 19th-century gristmill as the backdrop. This can’t get any more fall. At Fairfax County’s Colvin Run Mill, there will be an outdoor screening of the 1931 spooky classic, so bring your lawn chairs and blankets along with your friends and family, but maybe leave the kids under 10 at home, as the hosts recommend the event for that age and older. If you’ve never had the opportunity to step inside the Miller’s House Exhibit, it will open its doors to guests before the movie and close by the time the sun sets and the movie begins.
