From the Mayor’s Office:
“With the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics less than two weeks away, the District’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) is reminding the community that eligible establishments and venues will be able to operate 24 hours and have extended hours for entertainment and alcohol sales during designated periods that will cover the 2024 Summer Olympics (July 26-August 11), the 2024 Paralympic Games (August 28-September 8), as well as Dine All Night (September 19-29). and Art All Night (September 27-28).
“We’re the Sports Capital and we know that sports bring people together and that many people enjoy cheering on their favorite athletes and teams alongside other fans,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “The extended hours program is one way we can support local businesses and have fun celebrating the Olympics in our Nation’s Capital.”
Through emergency legislation signed earlier this week, eligible on-premises licensed retailers are able to register with ABCA to serve alcohol until 4:00 a.m. and operate 24 hours during these designated periods. The legislation also permits venues registered as an Art All Night and Dine All Night participant through the Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) to offer entertainment until 11:00 p.m. outdoors and until 2:00 a.m. indoors during those dates that they are registered with DSLBD to participate.”
