Update to Extended Holiday Hours Program
District ABC licensees registered in the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration's (ABRA)
Extended Holiday Hours program
now gain five additional days of extended hours eligibility in 2018 and nine in 2019 due to legislation signed yesterday. On Aug. 1, Mayor Muriel Bowser signed the
Fiscal Year 2019 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2018 (B22-0901)
, which added the Saturday and Sunday mornings of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday and Columbus Day holiday weekends to the program, as well as the Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings following Thanksgiving Day.
Please review ABRA's updated Extended Holiday Hours program
2018 Calendar
and
FAQ/Fact Sheet
that reflect the changes.
The extended holiday hours program allows eligible ABC licensed restaurants, taverns, nightclubs, hotels and multipurpose facilities to sell and serve alcohol until 4 a.m. and operate 24 hours a day during certain federal holidays and three-day holiday weekends, unless an ABC Board Order or Settlement Agreement restricts hours.
Licensees are required to
register with ABRA to participate
. Once a licensee is registered and approved for extended holiday hours, the registration is valid for all remaining applicable holidays that year and each year thereafter.
In order to enroll in the extended holiday hours program for the first time, an ABC licensee must submit a notification form and public safety plan to ABRA at least 30 days before the first holiday an establishment would like to participate in.
There is no fee to apply.
If you have additional questions, contact ABRA at (202) 442-4423 or by
