2024 Summer Olympics, Paralympic Games, Art All Night, and Dine All Night Temporary Amendment Act of 2024
This temporary act allows businesses in Washington, D.C., to extend their operating hours for alcohol sales and entertainment during the 2024 Summer Olympics, Paralympic Games, and two city-wide events called Art All Night and Dine All Night. To qualify, on-premises alcohol retailers must register with the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board, pay a $100 fee, and notify police authorities of their extended schedules. The legislation also permits non-alcohol businesses participating in the arts and dining events to sell alcohol and offers specific hours for indoor and outdoor entertainment. These relaxed rules are set to expire on September 30, 2024, ensuring they apply only to the specified dates and occasions.
