Road Closures for Friday's FIFA World Cup Draw - Washingtonian
"On this snowy Friday morning in DC, the 48 teams participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be split up into opposing pairs at a Kennedy Center bash that will host Donald Trump, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney. The event taking over DC's beleaguered performing arts center is a big production: in addition to the world leaders whose nations will host World Cup matches next year, the event will feature performers including Kevin Hart, Andrea Bocelli, Nicole Scherzinger, and Trump's favorite, the Village People."
"The draw doesn't begin until noon today, but roads are already shut down. Drivers dropping off event attendees can enter the Kennedy Center from 27th and K streets, NW. These streets will remain closed for both parking and vehicle traffic through 3:00 PM today: Rock Creek Parkway from Cathedral Avenue to Potomac River Freeway Thompson Boat Center Parking Lot Parkway Drive, NW"
