About this event
The Washington Capitals host the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena on Saturday, October 17, 2026, with puck drop at 1:00 PM. An early-afternoon start means foot traffic builds along F Street NW through late morning, when arriving fans are still looking for lunch rather than having eaten beforehand. Setting up near 601 F Street NW gives you a pregame window plus a second wave when the game lets out mid-afternoon, well before the dinner rush.
Vendor Tip
If you plan to vend at this event, make sure your Washington permits are current. Many events require proof of valid health permits, insurance, and city vendor licenses before you can set up.
