Parking: There is free street parking on Saturday and Sunday, but it is limited, so if it is at all possible to park at a metro stop on your way into town that would be advisable. If the event is during the week, parking garages are a better option. The closest garages are one block North from H St. between 16th and 17th Sts NW on "I" (Eye) Street and on Connecticut Avenue and "I".
