💨 Abstract

Washington, D.C. faces significant challenges hosting back-to-back major events: World Pride celebrations on June 7-8 and a military parade on June 14. The city must manage large crowds, potential counterprotests, and unique logistical issues, such as moving heavy military equipment. Mayor Bowser and security officials are preparing for disruptions and ensuring safety. They are also coordinating for subsequent events including FIFA Club World Cup matches and July 4 fireworks.
