WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Several roads in northwest Washington will be closing for a parade and fireworks display in celebration of Emancipation Day.

The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. Monday on Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.

A festival is also scheduled for 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Freedom Plaza.

Pay attention to traffic patterns and these announced road closures:

• Constitution Avenue NW and the surrounding streets between Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

• Pennsylvania Avenue NW and neighboring streets between 12th and 14th streets NW

• E Street NW between 13th and 14th streets NW
