Dupont Circle!

Dupont Circle is a place where feminists first fought, gay residents felt welcomed, capitalist 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 continue to visit the neighborhood for work and pleasure, enjoying the European ambiance of the tree-lined streets, outdoor dining, and independent businesses. International events and cultural activities also take place around Dupont Circle year-round. Passport DC and EU Open House are popular each May, inviting locals and visitors to learn about international culture through embassy partnerships. Dupont Festival coordinates Groundhog Day and movies in the Circle.  And Dupont Circle Main Street plans creative events around the neighborhood.
