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.
If you're new here, welcome! We’ve put together a starter pack for you, with episodes and articles to welcome you to the City Cast DC community.
For even more tips on how to make the most of October in D.C., check out Hey DC’s take on what to do this month.
Our next live taping is Wednesday, Oct. 9 at Black Cat. Come join us to learn about the juiciest election stories of the year, from the fierce clash over ranked choice voting to an indicted councilmember's scandalous reelection bid with zero competition. RSVP here.
