The TL;DR: A genuinely perfect four-day stretch — sunny, dry, and mild all the way through, with only cool overnight lows (bring a jacket for evening plans) as any kind of catch. Every single event this weekend gets ideal weather, so the only real decision is which one to prioritize, not whether to brave the elements. Rare for late September, and worth taking full advantage of.
