Fourth of July Service Changes in D.C. | Washington DC News

With the Fourth of July’s 250th anniversary hitting D.C., expect major disruptions: Metro offers free rides 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and free parking Friday, but buses run Sunday schedules and pre-scheduled MetroAccess trips are canceled unless rescheduled. Most government offices, libraries, and the DMV shut down Friday and Saturday—though trash pickup moves to Saturday. Outdoor pools and splash parks stay open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. MARC and VRE adjust transit, with VRE adding a late train post-fireworks. Maryland’s Alcohol Beverage Services stays open Saturday, while Montgomery County keeps trash pickup Friday but closes its transfer station Saturday. Plan ahead—services are mixed, with closures dominating, especially Friday.
