One block of Wisconsin Avenue will be closed on Sunday, December 7, for the Merriment in Georgetown holiday celebration. Wisconsin Avenue will be closed between M and N Streets, from 9 am to 9 pm. Vehicular traffic will be detoured around the area.

Participants are encouraged to use public transportation. The DC Circulator bus runs every ten minutes between Union Station and Georgetown, and the Georgetown Metro Connection provides bus service to and from the Rosslyn Metro Station (Orange and Blue Lines) and the Dupont Circle Metro Station (Red Line).

Due to the road closure, the Circulator buses will operate on a modified route and there will be no service on Wisconsin Avenue, north of M Street.

Merriment in Georgetown runs from 2 pm to 6 pm. For more information please visit the event’s website at www.merrimentingeorgetown.com.
