What to know
Our experience
If you are doing fireworks, this is the fireworks. The city's biggest display ever caps America's 250th over the Art Museum on Saturday night, after a free concert on the Parkway with Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, The Roots, and a Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff reunion. The block party gates open at 20th Street by Logan Circle at 3 PM with food trucks, games, and a beer garden, the concert starts at 5, and the fireworks go up around midnight. That is late for little kids, so the honest play is to come for the afternoon block party, or watch the fireworks from higher ground or along the river away from the crush. Whatever you do, bring water, it is going to be a hot one.
