The 4th of July is upon us, and that means cookouts, hot weather, and fireworks — fireworks everywhere, not just on the Mall.
It’s my opinion that a rooftop in Columbia Heights is the best place in the world to see 4th of July fireworks, because you can see the main display, displays at towns around the area, and a ton of DIY displays all around our neighborhood. Anywhere you look you’ll see something going on — it’s fun, it’s communal, and it’s explosive.
You can buy some fireworks in DC, though not the ones that shoot in the area and explode, and I contacted DCRA to get the list of where they are — see below.
In our area that’s 3700 New Hampshire (corner of Georgia, at the Petworth Metro) and 4140 Georgia (at Upshur). Here’s the full list below:
UPDATE: there are two stands not listed: 14th and Otis and Georgia and Newton.
