The 4th of July is this Sunday and I’m sure you’ve got quite the weekend ahead of you. Barbeques with friends and families, parties around town and everything else that comes when you rent apartments Washington DC. But have you planned the most important part of the weekend yet? Where are you going to watch the 4th of July fireworks? Haven’t decided yet? Well, we’ve got you covered, with some great locations, so it’s not too late to find a prime spot to view, what many would argue is the best firework show in the country.
Top Recommended Spots:
US Capitol Building: An excellent location to view the fireworks this year, but since this is such a popular location you might want to bring a cooler, blanket and some chairs to stake out a place early in the day. Having a nice 4th of July picnic is a great lead into a night of fireworks. Plus you’ll get the added bonus of listening to the 1812 overture, which will broadcast across the Capital Building during the show.
Lincoln Memorial: Another great location to watch 4th of July fireworks, that will surely be popular this year since the renovations to the memorial have been completed. One of the best features of the Lincoln Memorial, as a firework viewing location, is the reflecting pool which will add wonders to the already gorgeous firework display overhead.
