Plenty to Do this Presidential Weekend
It is the long Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, so for many it is a three-day weekend. Monday looks to be the best of the three days with temperatures around 50 degrees and no rain in the forecast. Saturday and Sunday will be around 40 degrees but with a 50 percent chance of rain on Saturday and 40 percent on Sunday. Keep dry whatever you do this weekend.
It may be the Presidents’ Day holiday, but work on Metro isn’t taking a break. On Saturday, Red Line trains single track between Silver Spring and Wheaton, and operate every 9 minutes between Shady Grove and Takoma from 9:15 a.m.-9 p.m. and every 18 minutes between Shady Grove and Glenment. On Sunday, the Red Line trains single track between Forest Glena and Glenmont, and run every 8 minutes between Shady Grove and Silver Spring from 9 a.m.-8:45 p.m. and every 15 minutes between Shady Grove and Glenmont. Blue Lines single track between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road with trains every 20 minutes through Monday. Silver Line trains operate between Wiehle-Reston East and New Carrollton every 20 minutes all weekend. Orange Line trains operate every 20 minutes due to work on other lines. The Yellow Line bridge over the Potomac River is closed all weekend for maintenance, so Yellow Line trains operate between Huntington and National Airport only on a regular weekend schedule. Limited shuttle buses run between National Airport and L’Enfant Place from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. And Green Line trains singled track between L’Enfant Plaza and Mount Vernon Square al weekend with trains running every 18 minutes. On Monday, Metro is open from 5 a.m.-11:30 p.m. with off-peak fares and free parking.

After one big idea took shape, the path forward became clear for Adventure Theatre’s new hour-long, kid-friendly version of the Tony-winning 1985 Broadway musical Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
