Fall Calendar

Although DC is known for Spring, Fall is my favorite time. As the crisp bite of autumn begins to take the edge off the Summer heat, the locals crawl back out from their air-conditioned haze and wander to the many fall festivals and harvest events that punctuate each weekend. Although it is sometimes planned at the last minute, the Rosslyn Jazz Festival usually happens in mid-September. Here are a few of the fun things to look forward to:
