A cookout party with ax throwing? A scavenger hunt for the youngest local historians? A bar crawl through Dupont? The nation’s capital knows how to celebrate July 4.

Darren Criss will be in town, grill kits are available for pick up, and it’s almost time to pick your spot for watching the July Fourth fireworks.

Ridership still remains low since the beginning of the pandemic.

The District’s Fourth of July festivities still look a little bit different from most years, but that doesn’t mean there’s any shortage of celebrations to go around.

“Ask yourself: Do you need to be there?” says Mayor Muriel Bowser.
