Good thing many of you have a three-day weekend coming up, because there’s a lot going happening this weekend. There’s a decidedly celebratory theme to the proceedings, with festivals for food (Taste of D.C.), drink (Capitol City Brewing Company’s Mid-Atlantic Oktoberfest), neighborhoods (Columbia Heights Day) and music (Virgin Mobile FreeFest). There’s also the hype surrounding the Nationals, who begin the playoffs Sunday afternoon.

Check out our weekend picks for the skinny on these events and more of what’s going on in the D.C. area in the days ahead.
