Lifestyle
Is there anything more festive than celebrating Independence Day in our nation’s capital? As far as we’re concerned, there’s not much that could possibly top watching the city’s annual firework display against the iconic backdrop of the National Mall.
But as it turns out, fireworks aren’t all the District has planned for this year’s freedom fête. So, without further ado, here’s how you can take your upcoming Independence Day DC festivities to the next level. Go on — make Uncle Sam proud!
Catch Fireworks On The National Mall
The National Park Service will once again host the annual Independence Day fireworks celebration on the National Mall, the nation’s most important civic space which is also home to more than a dozen memorials commemorating notable Americans and significant events in our nation’s history. The display will be held on Thursday, July 4, starting at 9:09 PM, and will be launched from both sides of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. If you plan to watch the display on or near the Mall, consider arriving early, bringing hearing protection, and leaving skittish pets at home.
