DC’s Biggest Fireworks Ever | Washington DC News

Washington D.C. is set to host its biggest Fourth of July fireworks display ever, with over 800,000 shells lighting up the sky until 11 p.m.—two hours later than usual. Security opens at 1 p.m. for the National Mall, but early arrival is key. New rules ban folding chairs, coolers, aerosol sunscreen, and bug spray, plus a clear bag policy means no holds on prohibited items. Expect massive crowds, extreme heat, and waterway closures for safety. Metrorail runs extended hours with free rides after 5 p.m., though some stations may become one-way to manage flow. Stay hydrated, plan ahead, and prepare for a packed, hot, and highly secured celebration. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
