Hey, a whole bunch of the city has the day off tomorrow! (Our regards to those who don’t.)

D.C. Public Schools will all be closed for the day, as will D.C. Water’s offices (call 612-3400 for emergencies!) and most other D.C. city offices. Trash pickup around the District will have to wait until Saturday.

Transit-wise, you’ll want to keep in mind that Metro is closing four stations tonight and otherwise operating on a Saturday schedule tomorrow. DPW won’t be issuing tickets for parking meter and residential parking infractions tomorrow, and DDOT will waive rush hour restrictions during the morning and afternoon commutes.

Of course, there are plenty of ways — from wreath layings to a ceremonial sword cake cutting — to actually mark the occasion, if that’s more your concern.
