Weekend's Best Bets in Falls Church

See what's going on in Falls Church this weekend

Try a little bit of everything this weekend! Don't miss one of the final four performances of the family-friendly production Eddie Allan Poe at Creative Cauldron, a workshop about the language of spirit featuring international author and medium Sharon Klinger, The Junior League of Northern Virginia's winter-themed festival The Enchanted Forest, Stifel & Capra's Holiday Art and Gift Market and a hands-on Mother Sauces & More cooking class at Open Kitchen.

Eddie Allan Poe: Don't miss the final weekend of Creative Cauldron's brand new, kid-friendly production about the oddball students at the Eddie Allan Poe Academy, who are working hard to master their mysterious and macabre storytelling techniques, just like the great master himself. But their headmaster informs them that the Academy's funding is in jeopardy, and they must try to put a "normal" spin on Poe's great classics if they are to remain open.
