DC Weekend Area Events. Hello everyone. It's Fridaaaaaaaay! Wait a minute why am I soo excited again? Its not that I am not going to be working. Real Estate Agents are very busy now. And if you want to keep me more busy by helping you buy and sell your DC home,please give me a call. I am never too busy for more business.

It's been a while since I have written my DC Area Events blog that has now been changed to DC Weekend Area Events. Why? It makes sense to change it to DC Weekend Area Events. Besides all the area events that I write on my blogs are on the weekend. Also an e-mail that I got by somebody who has been reading my blogs and wants me to contribute blogs to their website for a story that they do every thursday-(BLOG COMING SOON),also prompted me to write this blog-SO EXCITED. Now I got four viewers who read my Active Rain blogs which is where they found me. Enough of me sharing my joy. Here are the DC Weekend Area Events.

From there, the Mardi Gras-style celebration moves its way south to Barry Place NW and the campus of Howard University, where a parking lot will be transformed into a "tropical arena" with live music, food, games, crafts and all manner of Caribbean pride from noon to 8 p.m.
