"Yes, the vibes are bad. No, doing something whimsical won't solve your very real problems or the very real roots of them. But maybe, just maybe, taking some time to have a little fun this weekend can provide a small escape, like Alice tumbling down the rabbit's hole into Wonderland. Upcoming events offer opportunities to catch imaginative performances, participate in creative gatherings, or even embrace the more playful side of protest. Here are some out-of-the-box ideas for your weekend."
"Sword swallowers, contortionists, and magicians are bringing their fantastical skills to Side Yards, a free carnival in Navy Yard on November 14. The pièce de résistance is the wrestling ring, where Lucha Libre Mexican wrestlers will don colorful masks to fly from the ropes. Bubble displays, face painting, and jugglers round out the jamboree, which runs from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM."
A variety of playful weekend events offer brief escapes from heavy realities through imaginative performances, creative gatherings, and playful protest. A free Side Yards carnival in Navy Yard on November 14 features sword swallowers, contortionists, magicians, bubble displays, face painting, jugglers, and a Lucha Libre wrestling ring from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The Million Frog March assembles at the Lincoln Memorial on November 15 at 1 PM and proceeds to the Washington Monument, with speakers connecting frog protection and democracy and attendees encouraged to dress in froggy costumes. DCompression brings a micro Burning Man spirit with performances, workshops, and fire-dancing across a 12-hour event.
