Saturday afternoon, Memorial Day weekend. Beautiful weather brought crowds to Eastern Market. At noon, 7th and C Streets, SE, seemed to be the center of everything.
Monday afternoon, Memorial Day weekend. An American Flag and a Marching Band is all you need for a parade. The Memorial Day Parade kicked off at 7th and Constitution, NW, with crowds undaunted by the prospect of rain.
Here’s the reviewing stand where announcers introduced parade participants to the crowds.
The view from the steps of the National Archive attracted some.
And many of them came prepared when the rain came around 2:30pm.
Over at the East Front of the U.S. Capitol, crews continued their set up of the canopy and stage for the evening’s National Memorial Day Concert – for the first time since 2019. The event featured the National Symphony Orchestra and military ensembles, and marked the 50th anniversay of U.S. troops returning from the Vietnam War.
