The Beauty of Late Fall, Washington DC in November


Stunning Fall Foliage: 

Early November in Washington DC is a visual treat. The National Mall, lined with iconic landmarks, is adorned with vibrant fall colors. Take a leisurely stroll through the city, where the golden hues of the trees provide a stunning backdrop for your photos.

Explore Fall is predicting this year's best Fall Foliage in DC to be in early November since it's currently only Moderate Color as of today:

Mild Weather: 

Enjoy the crisp, pleasant weather that November brings. With temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-60s Fahrenheit, it's the perfect climate for exploring the city without the summer crowds. Just add a layer for the shadier moments and relish in the fresh air.


Iconic Monuments and Museums


Rich History Awaits: 

Washington DC is home to some of the nation's most iconic monuments and museums, and November is an ideal time to explore them. Visit the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the World War II Memorial with fewer tourists in sight. For our business travelers, we recommend going on an evening tour of the monuments, to see how majestic they are lit up at night.





Smithsonian Museums: 

Take advantage of the quieter museum halls at the Smithsonian Institution. From the National Museum of American History to the National Air and Space Museum, there's a wealth of knowledge waiting to be discovered.


Events and Activities


Veterans Day Observances: 

Join the community in honoring the nation's veterans. The city hosts various events, providing a meaningful experience for visitors and locals alike. On November 11, 2024, there will be a Veteran's Day Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery,

"The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery . The ceremony commences precisely at 11:00 a.m. with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns and continues inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by Veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries. The ceremony is intended to honor and thank all who served in the United States Armed Forces."

Finds ways to give back to the DC community, like joining a Turkey Trot before sampling the local cuisines. While visiting, make Swann House your home base and meet up spot!
