Dupont Circle Welcomes You!
Dupont Circle is a place where feminists first fought, gay residents felt welcomed, entrepreneurs embraced innovation, artists landed, and progressive thinkers gathered. The neighborhood is home to more than 70 embassies and international organizations. Foreign travelers and professionals visit the neighborhood for work and pleasure, enjoying the European ambiance of the tree-lined streets, outdoor cafes, and small businesses. Events and cultural activities take place around Dupont Circle year-round. The Holi Festival celebrates the arrival of spring with the Embassy of India. Passport DC is popular each May, inviting visitors to explore our embassies. Music in the Circle brings a crowd through the warmer months. Art All Night attracts visitors in the Autumn. And our holiday market brings people throughout the festive season.
