Since the Freedom250 fiasco seems to have snarled DC celebrations, can anyone suggest any good events close by? I hate to just sit home and watch the neighborhood fireworks

| Baltimore is usually fun (they were the original “bombs bursting in air”). Can get a harbors identical hotel for the night… |

| DC will still have an insanely long firework display. And there’s lots of vantage points to see it. |

I was thinking of Philly as well, I think they have a lot of fun stuff by the river and then fireworks.
I want to celebrate but not have it all be Trump themed and that's my worry with DC itself. |

| For those who recommended Philly – just so you know there’s a World Cup game there that day and there’s going to be tons of security/extra crowds. I’m not sure that’s where I would want to be on Fourth of July this year. |
