The Women’s March on January 21st is expected to draw hundreds of thousands to the Mall area for a demonstration which begins with activities at 8am, followed by the official rally at 10am. 
The rally location is at 3rd and Independence near the National Museum of the American Indian, whose restaurant will be open from 11am to 3pm that day.
The Washington Post has complete details about the Women’s March
Woolly Mammoth Theatre at 641 D Street NW, a 15 minute walk from the rally, is opening its doors from 8:30 am until 4 pm “to serve as a meeting place, organizing space, and rest stop for the general public. We’ll have cheap hot drinks and snacks for those who need them and a welcoming, wide open lobby to share with whoever needs it,” Woolly’s website reports.
At 1 pm, the march will begin from the Mall location to the Ellipse, a distance of just under 2 miles.
Located 1.8 miles from the Ellipse, The Kennedy Center is expected to be a major hub for taxis and car services such as Uber and Lyft. Reserved, Pre-Paid Parking is available in The Kennedy Center’s garage on Jan 21. The Cafe will be open from 11:30am – 8pm. The Roof Terrace Restaurant opens at 5pm.
