Fourth of July Fireworks Rules 2025

This year’s Fourth of July fireworks at the Washington Monument are set to be the biggest ever, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with a dazzling 40-minute show starting at 10:30 PM—but the fun begins much earlier, with doors opening at 1 PM and performances and flyovers kicking off at 7 PM. Big changes this year: folding chairs, coolers, drink tumblers, balls, frisbees, and aerosols (including bug spray and sunscreen) are all banned. Security is tightening with a clear bag policy—only one clear bag (max 12x6x12 inches) or a small clutch (10x6x2 inches) allowed. No storage for prohibited items—anything surrendered at security is discarded. Be sure to review the full policy before you go, and remember: entering the secured area means you’re agreeing to be searched. Pack smart, arrive early, and enjoy the show without hassle.
