Washington Capitals Viewing Party At The Wharf Thursday
If you want a place to watch the game but don't want to deal with the madness downtown, the Wharf has you covered.

WASHINGTON, DC -- We are still six hours from puck drop, and already things are getting crazy downtown as fans file in early at Capital One Arena for the Washington Mystics game ahead of the viewing party for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. And if you're looking for an alternative to downtown, the Wharf is hosting their own viewing party tonight.
In fact, it will be its third viewing party on the Southwest Waterfront as the Caps look to clinch the Stanley Cup with a 3-1 lead in the Finals as the series shifts back to Vegas.
The Wharf will also be lighting up the Case Bridge with Capitals colors every night through the playoffs. Their screen is set up at Maine Avenue and Pearl Street.

The viewing is free and open to the public.
