The 280th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson will be celebrated on Thursday, April 13, 2023. 

As in all but two of the eighty years since the dedication of the Jefferson Memorial in 1943, the District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, in cooperation with the National Park Service and the Military District of Washington, will sponsor a commemorative ceremony at 11:00 AM that day at the Jefferson Memorial, on the Tidal Basin in Washington. The program will include music by one of the service bands, a Joint Armed Services Color Guard, and placing wreaths by numerous officials and groups. 

Parking is limited, so leave yourself plenty of time. METRO (Smithsonian station) may be the best option. If you drive, plan to use Lots A, B, or C, located on Ohio Drive between and flanking the spans of the 14th Street Bridges. The lots are up to a half-mile walk from the north steps of the Memorial facing the Tidal Basin, where the ceremony will take place.
