WASHINGTON, DC — There are plenty of things to do and see in the D.C. area this weekend. Some attractions you'll find include: Galentine's Soiree, DC Chocolate, Wine & Whiskey Festival, Maple Syrup Boil-Down, and Cupid's Bar Crawl.

If you're thinking of taking the Metro on Saturday, Feb. 8 through Sunday, Feb. 9, you should plan accordingly.

Here's everything you need to know before heading out for the weekend:

Red Line trains will run every 18 minutes between Shady Grove and Glenmont, and single-track between Medical Center and Grosvenor. Additional trains will operate every 9 minutes between Friendship Heights and Glenmont from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Orange Line trains will run every 16 minutes between West Falls Church-VT/UVA and New Carrollton. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, additional trains will travel between Ballston-MU and New Carrollton.
