What's happening in Alexandria this weekend: March 27-29

Got plans Friday? You might want to move them indoors — rain is expected most of the day with temperatures falling into the low 50s.

The good news: the weekend looks great, with sunny skies Saturday and Sunday and highs climbing from the upper 40s to near 60. Saturday brings a No Kings rally along Route 1, Easter egg hunts at Lee-Fendall House and Mt. Vernon Recreation Center, and cherry blossom guided tours by electric bike.

Looking for something different? Head to Gadsby's Tavern Friday evening for a Franco-American game night, or catch an Outlander-themed tour at the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum on Sunday.

Here's everything on the calendar this weekend.
