DC’s 250th July 4th Heat & Safety Alert | Washington DC News

Washington D.C. is throwing a massive Fourth of July bash to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, but with temps soaring over 100 degrees and tight security, you need to plan smart. Expect road closures, seven-foot fencing, and nine security checkpoints to enter fireworks zones — gates open at 1 PM, fireworks at 10:30 PM. No backpacks, chairs, coolers, or pets allowed — and even sunscreen is off-limits under the new clear-bag policy. Stay hydrated, avoid the heat, and use Metro or rideshare to get around.
