Get Out! And Experience ART ALL NIGHT All Over Town - Sept 24 & 25

With so many fall festivals and fairs this weekend, you might think I would have a hard time picking out the event of the week for the weekly "Get Out!" column. Not so!
 
ART ALL NIGHT is the runaway winner, with happenings in all eight wards of the city, both Friday and Saturday nights.
 
Start here:
 

Cleveland Park does not have its very own AAN but these five are pretty close:
 
 
If you would like to venture farther afield, the guide in DCist.com has a handy interactive map at  https://dcist.com/story/21/09/22/dc-art-all-night-2021-guide-map/. Just click on any of the AAN icons to pull up a side-bar with the highlights of that event, some photos, and a link to the AAN website for all the details.
 
None of these websites, however, will answer the question that must be on everyone's mind: "How does an event that ends at midnight get to be called 'All Night'?"
 
Here's my guess for the answer: The fairy godmother from Cinderella came up with the concept! (And since I'll be taking my pumpkin-coach home around 10pm, I certainly don't object!)

The "Get Out!" event of the week is published on the Cleveland Park Listserv and on All Life Is Local on Thursdays.
