The Columbus Memorial across from Union Station remains closed due to the federal government shutdown.


The Casa Italiana Cultural Center and the Columbus courtyard are located at 595 Third, NW, Washington, DC 2001. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 am on Monday, October 14, 2013. Street parking is available in the Casa Italiana area as it is a federal holiday.
