Event Details
The nation's capital is an exciting place to be during the week of July 4, with many patriotic festivities taking place in honor of Independence Day, culminating with the annual Independence Day fireworks celebration on the National Mall, hosted by the National Park Service. The show gets started on Thursday, at 9:09 p.m., and will be launched from both sides of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

An important note for 2024: Arlington National Cemetery, in collaboration with the Air Force District of Washington, will close public access to the Air Force Memorial on July 4. This is an active construction site involving multiple road closures, which poses a significant safety and security risk. In addition, the only way to access Arlington National Cemetery will be via the ramp from northbound Route 110 to Memorial Avenue.
