Get Out: September 2

A weekend's worth of stuff to see and do.

When/Where: Friday, Sept. 2, 7 p.m.; Triangle Lane & Reedie Drive (Wheaton Triangle), Wheaton, Md. 20902.

Why Go? Based on the huge worldwide success of this wayward clownfish, it’s safe to say that most people have already found Nemo. Still, he’s worth finding again. And this time he’s under the stars, screened courtesy of Downtown Wheaton.

When/Where: Friday, Sept. 2, 4 p.m.; Northwestern High School, 7000 Adelphi Rd, Hyattsville, Md. 20782.

Why Go? Support the Knights as they square off against the Northwestern Jaguars. With summer vanishing, it's a good thing we have football to help us find fall.

Pricing: $5

When/Where: Friday, Sept. 2, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Sunday and Monday, noon to 6 p.m.; , 7300 Macarthur Blvd, Glen Echo, Md. 20812.

Why Go? As if the isn’t beautiful enough on its own, this annual show packs the venue with striking works of art from an array of platforms (photography, ceramics, jewelry, glass, textiles, and more). And if you like what you see, there’s a good chance it’s for sale.

Pricing: FREE

When/Where: Saturday, Sept. 3,  11 a.m. to noon; , 1400 Glenallan Ave, Wheaton, Md. 20902.

Why Go? Learning doesn’t get more “hands on” than this. For this class, you’ll roll up your sleeves, get right in the water, and mingle with the “stream critters” (fish, crayfish, water striders). Since you’re going to be on their turf, the stream critters do ask one thing of you: please dress casually.

Pricing: $5

When/Where: Friday and Saturday, Sept. 2-3, 8 p.m.,  and Sunday, Sept. 4, 2 p.m.; , 603 Edmonston Dr, Rockville, MD 20851

Why Go? It’s a love story set to heavenly music. It’s as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago. On top of that, it’s more sincere than any of the courtships you’ll see on reality TV.

Pricing: $16 - $20
