Fourth of July Fireworks in DC
For the Fourth of July in Washington, D.C., the fireworks display will be hosted by the National Park Service on the National Mall. You can watch the fireworks from both sides of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The Lincoln Memorial steps will be closed this year due to safety concerns and construction, but the plaza and lawn near the Reflecting Pool will be open for viewing.
The National Mall will close 14th Street from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial early in the morning for security sweeps. Visitors can enter through several access points and should plan to arrive early to secure a good spot. It’s best to use the Metro as many streets will be closed to traffic, and parking will be challenging.
For a different view, consider the Fourth at the Wharf or a rooftop event like the Red White and Brew Rooftop Party. City Cruises also offers boat rides with views of the fireworks.
