The Washington Wizards announced to season ticket holders yesterday that the 2025-26 Meet the Team Party was postponed due to the U.S. federal government shutdown. The party was initially scheduled to be on Tuesday, Oct. 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. ET at the Smithsonian National Zoo.
According to the Smithsonian Institution, which operates the National Zoo, all of their attractions will be open through Monday, Oct. 6. Unfortunately, the Meet the Team party was scheduled for Tuesday and it’s unclear whether Congress and the President can agree on a funding bill by then.
The Wizards have regularly hosted this event at Smithsonian facilities. The 2024-25 Meet the Team Party was held at the National Museum of American History from 7 to 10 p.m. ET.
