'💃 Cuffing Season — WHINO (Ballston Quarter, Nov. 15, 9 PM)

Whether you’re looking for love or just a good story, this one’s worth a lap on the dance floor. $10

🍷 $5 Friday Wine Class — Pentagon City Wine Merchant (Nov. 15, 5–8 PM)

🖼️ 307 Studios Holiday Open House — 307 S. Wayne St., Arlington (Nov. 15, 5–8 PM)
