High Heel Race Tonight

The annual Halloween event near Dupont Circle, also known as the Drag Race, begins at 9 p.m. There are some parking restrictions starting at 6 p.m., and taking Metro's Red Line to Dupont Circle Station is a good alternative for getting there.

Parking restrictions will be in effect on 17th Street from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., says the District Department of Transportation. East-west side streets off 17th Street between R and P streets will be closed to through traffic. Local residents with identification will be permitted on side streets.
