July 3, 2025
Dear Washingtonians,
As we head into the holiday weekend, I want to invite you to celebrate Independence Day with us tomorrow. In addition to the parades happening across the city, we are also hosting our now-annual Fourth of July in the District concert Downtown. The concert has a star-studded line-up featuring Grammy-nominated artists Jeremih and The War and Treaty, along with the world-class U.S. Air Force Band, local favorites DC Vybe, DJ Quicksilva, and more.
The concert will begin at 5:00 p.m. on Pennsylvania Avenue, between 12th and 13th Streets NW. The event is free with first-come, first-served seating. There will be food trucks on-site, as well as a “Kids Zone” sponsored by DPR.
If you’re coming to the concert, heading to the National Mall, or just making your way around DC, I encourage you to take public transportation. Metrorail, Metrobus, and MetroAccess will be free beginning at 5:00 p.m. on July 4, until the system closes.
If you’re not already signed up to receive real-time updates on traffic, weather, and public safety through alert.dc.gov, I encourage you to do so.
No matter how you celebrate, have a safe and fun holiday!
