District Festival: Arts on Foot

Photo by Olivia Boinet/The Washington Post IF YOU LIVE in the District, you might notice that while Alexandria and other D.C. suburbs seem to be bursting with festivals, the city itself gets a little shafted. I've seen you try to shrug it off. "We've got the Smithsonian," you sniff, "Why would we need some silly festival?"

You need hide your feelings no more! Wines of Argentina is sponsoring (for the zillionth year in a row) the Arts on Foot festival. Penn Quarter will become a maelstrom of local art and food, with an outdoor festival and booths and tastings from D.C. restaurants and oh, you've never seen such a show! Grab your significant other, your dog or your copy of "Eat Pray Love" and go walk around. We'll show all those Virginia suburbs how the big boys do neighborhood festivals. We'll show 'em all!

» Penn Quarter, centered at 7th and F streets NW; Sat., Sept. 13, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., free; 202-626-0011. (Gallery Place)
