This weekend (October 5-7) is DC’s Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie Festival, a homegrown music event that showcases more than 200 bands at 13 venues throughout the city.

The festival is technically free, but purchasing wristbands for the weekend (prices range from $1 to $10) helps to support local and out-of-town musicians.

This fall’s festival is the third Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie happening, following last year’s two successful festivals organized by District resident, Dave Mann.

More information on participating musicians, venues and the weekend schedule is available on the Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie Music Festival website.
