Mini Folk Festival, Valentines 4 Veterans: Silver Spring Events

SILVER SPRING, MD — The Super Bowl? Uh, no thanks. We're sick of seeing the Redskins lose and the Pats win. Lucky for us jaded football fans, Patch has rounded up fun, interesting and entertaining events throughout the Montgomery County area that don't have anything to do with football.

Some are free. Some have a fee.

Whether you opt for an activity close to home or a mini day trip, see what's on tap this holiday weekend from Friday, Feb. 2 to Sunday, Feb. 4.
