WASHINGTON — The District has been in a constant state of celebration since the Nationals became the World Series Champions on Oct. 30. Nats fans will have the opportunity to cheer their favorite players on some more at the official Nationals Championship Parade.
The parade is being held on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 2 p.m., on the corner of Constitution Ave NW and 15th ST NW.
Since the parade is expected to be filled with thousands of cheerful supporters, heavy traffic can be anticipated. Officials say that local traffic will be permitted to travel south to E St. NW and northbound traffic will be allowed to travel north from E St. NW.
Those planning on taking the Metro on Saturday are in luck -- Metro officials announced the trains will arrive every 3-4 minutes in downtown D.C. with departures from end-of-line stations every 6-12 minutes to accommodate parade crowds, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The extra trains are available thanks to a partnership from Xfinity.
