Your Guide to October 2024 in DC
Do you feel it? That tiny chill in the air. The leaves are turning a little bit red, summer is over, and it’s giving way to fall in D.C. City Cast’s Priyanka Tilve and Kaela Cote-Stemmermann are here to go through our guide to October, from enjoying the crisp weather outside to spooky dance floors inside. And if you love fall as much as we do, check out our episode about the DMV’s best pumpkin patches.
