Five+things+to+do+this+weekend

1. For any activists out there, or just anyone interested in human rights, check out the Human Rights Watch Film Festival. The top five entries out of hundreds are being sown, with the most popular being a film about a couple living in the Gaza strip. Tickets are $10.34 and the festival is at the West End Cinema.

2301 M Street NW

2. Ice skate: use up the last weeks of winter by making the most of the cold weather! Outdoor rinks are located downtown at the Sculpture Garden, at Pentagon Row, Reston Town Center and other local places.

3. Try DIY: make a chevron patterned canvas for some unique wall art. Check out this tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

4. The Chocolate Lovers Festival will be taking place in Old Town Fairfax. Cake demonstrations, face painting, samples and contests will be all over the streets. If you like chocolate, this is the place the be.
