Government is still as disfunctional and shut down as ever, but at least there’s something else out there to do:
? Fall in DC = cozy vibes + epic weekends!
Fewer crowds, golden leaves, and tons going on just a Metro ride away ?
? Shuck It! Oyster & Beer Fest — Oct 18
Georgetown Waterfront = oysters, local brews, and live music at Tony & Joe’s. ? Tickets around $65 — go early for those river sunsets!
? National Museum of Women in the Arts
Gorgeous new exhibits + evening hours some Wednesdays. Entry $16 — perfect midweek chill spot.
? Mount Vernon Fall Harvest Days — Oct 18–19
Watch 18th-century farm demos, meet farm animals, and taste fall treats at George Washington’s estate. ? Entry $28.
