Every week I pick out the best culinary and social events happening on the weekends in the DC area. I choose the fun, exciting and enlightening events. This week is no different. You can go to a brewery festival or entertain your mouth with a menu full of bacon. I have added a little picture to the post. Tucker and I were visited the other day by a preying mantis. Kind of weird, but a really cool picture.
National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is bringing the best of Italy to Washington, D.C., for “Piazza d’Italia,” a two-day exhibition at the Hilton Washington.
At Piazza d’Italia, exhibitors will be given the opportunity to introduce their products and services to our faithful gathering of Italian and Italian American gala attendees from across the U.S. and Italy, distinguished guests, dignitaries and — as the Piazza is an open event — a large gathering of residents from the greater Washington, D.C. area. The convention and gala attract more than 3,000 guests including importers, distributors, travel agents and other business leaders. Highlights from this two-day event include:
Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Tucker asked me to post this. Music and Pet Lovers Festival. I checked and the website and it is cool if pets bring their owners. Barktoberfest is a fun-filled day of pets, music, games, food, and prizes. Adults and kids alike will have a great time, and well-behaved canines are welcome to attend!
