ROGERS PARK — It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend, and there's plenty to do on the Far North Side.

Between Edgewater, Rogers Park and West Ridge, there is enough autumnal magical for everyone to share in.

Check out this weekend's roundup of events, ranging from a night out on the town to an afternoon out with the family:

The Wabash Cannonballs Play at Red Line Tap: At 9 p.m. Saturday favorite Chicago band The Wabash Cannonballs go on at Red Line Tap, 7006 N. Glenwood Ave. in Rogers Park. If you miss their set, you can still catch The Krank Daddies' set. Tickets for the show are $7 in advance, or $10 at the door.

Cryptic 5K Rolls Through Edgewater: The fourth annual Rosehill Cemetery Crypt 5K will take place at the city's largest graveyard, filled with historical significance. The completely candle-lit run will start at 5800 N. Ravenswood Ave. at 7 p.m. Saturday and end with a medal ceremony and celebration at The Fireside Restaurant.

Pocket Circus Comes To Rogers Park Library: The teeniest tiniest bilingual circus is coming to the Rogers Park Library, 6907 N. Clark St., from 2-3 p.m. Saturday. The free Pocket Circus event will be presented in both English and Spanish.

Heartland Cafe Throws Barn Dance: It's a good-ole fashioned barn dance and all y'all in the neighborhood are invited. Stop by the Heartland Cafe, 7000 N. Glenwood Ave., Saturday from 5:30-9 p.m. to take part in the barn dance, dinner and fall-themed party to help raise money for the Rogers Park Food Co-Op. Tickets for dinner and a dance are $25, but $10 for the dance alone — slated to start at 7 p.m.

"Movement Zoo" Dance Piece At Indian Boundary Park: On Sunday, J. Lindsay Brown Dance Company brings "Movement Zoo" to Indian Boundary Park's Nature Play Center, 2555 W. Estes Ave. between 1-3 p.m.. The hour-long performances are meant to capture dance movements specifically celebrating local wildlife.

Free Cider Tastings At Rogers Park Social: Celebrate the magical apple-picking (and drinking) season by stopping by Rogers Park Social, 6920 N. Glenwood Ave., between 2-5 p.m. Sunday for a gratis tasting of hard ciders. Vote for your favorite and they just might bring it in for the season.
