Fall festivals = weekend traffic

Published September 15, 2011 4:00am ET



The start of fall and cooler weather means the arrival of more festivals in the District and their constant companion — street closures.

    On Saturday, a swath of bustling H Street in Northeast will be closed for the H Street Festival. The festival runs from noon to 7 p.m. between 8th and 14th streets. But the closure begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m., according to D.C. Metropolitan Police. Last year, the event attracted some 20,000 people and organizers expect it to be bigger this year.
