9. Find craft beer nirvana.
This year, Northern Virginia’s largest Oktoberfest comes to Crystal City, with over 100 craft beers on tap and more than 50 participating breweries. A $30 general admission ticket includes ten 4-oz. beer tastings (served in the event’s special mug), but if you blow through those, additional tasting tickets will be available for purchase at the event. As a complement to the brews, you’ll also find classic Oktoberfest bites–like sausages and giant soft pretzels–as well as some flavorful food trucks on site.
