Be sure to check back the week of this event for updated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monuments between the World War II memorial and the Lincoln Memorial take on a whole new life after dark.&nbsp; Although the Arlington Memorial Bridge will be under repair and the Jefferson Memorial will be undergoing restoration, there are many other attractions open and available.&nbsp; The Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and the service men and women memorials are all down on the West side.&nbsp; The water fountains at the World War II memorial should also be operating.&nbsp; Of course, there is also the District of Columbia War Memorial (World War I).&nbsp; The FDR memorial is another option and has many interesting subjects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tripods are generally accepted around the grounds provided the photographer is not blocking or hindering pedestrian traffic.&nbsp; Tripods inside the Lincoln Memorial are prohibited and park rangers will ask you not to use them (there are reports some rangers will look the other way, but that&#8217;s the exception not the norm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunset is anticipated at 7:20 p.m. and Moonset will be at 3:33 p.m.&nbsp;
