Monday: Noir DC
The AFI is showing at least one film noir every night this week, including classics like Sunset Boulevard and Strangers on a Train. Tonight's film is Side Street, about a man who steals an envelope of cash—and ends up in way over his head. 9 PM. Interested in more movies throughout the week to prep you for Halloween? Check out our guide to scary movies around town this week.
Tuesday: High Heel Race
It's a Halloween DC classic—the Dupont Circle High Heel Race. Between 17th and P Streets, NW, hundreds of spectacularly-outfitted drag queens will parade up and down the street. At 9 PM, they'll race in their heels. Get there as early as 6 PM if you want to get a solid viewing spot. Looking for more Halloween events this week? Make sure to check out our guide.
