If you plan to brave the Georgetown crowds this weekend, we highly recommend using public transportation. Note that to get around the crowds, the Georgetown Circulator will be running east-west on Q Street and north-south on 22nd and 23rd Streets to connect between Washington Circle and Wisconsin Avenue. The 31, 32 and 36 buses will also be detoured between Wisconsin Avenue and Washington Circle via Q, 22nd and 23rd Streets, while the 38B buses will be detoured to K Street via the Whitehurst Freeway.
