If you want to celebrate the Fourth with more than just fireworks, check out these patriotic parties for an Independence Day you’ll never forget:
Silent Disco & Fireworks
Malmaison, 3401 Water St. NW. 7:30 p.m. $20.
This party kicks off at the popular Malmaison, scenically located near the banks of the Potomac. Headphones will be handed out near the door – powered by the Silent Disco Society’s collaboration with Malmaison – and guests can choose between three live DJs to listen to throughout the night.
If you’re in the mood for some throwback tunes, DJ Moosic’s old school reggae, hip hop and disco will be up your alley. DJ Sabeel Chohan will be spinning EDM, and Sunny will be covering world groove and house.
Not festive enough? Malmaison will also host a hula dance performances all night.
This is a themed party, so don’t forget your red, white and blue attire.
Rooftop pool party
The Liaison Capitol Hill, 415 New Jersey Ave. NW. 8 a.m. $50.
The Liaison hotel is hosting a special rooftop pool party in honor of the Fourth, and everyone’s invited.
Although there’s a $50 admission fee, once you pay for the ticket you have poolside access from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. all day – which means you have front row seats for the fireworks that night.
If you feel like spending some more green that day, poolside cabanas go for $300–$400, which include rooftop access for your guests.
Red White Blue July 4th Pool Party
Embassy Row Hotel, 2015 Massachusetts Ave. NW. $20.
Spend your Fourth in your best bikini at the Embassy Row Hotel, where the party starts at noon and DJs are always spinning. Grab a few summer-themed cocktails and relax on the day beds, or in the pool, as you take in the panoramic view of the city.
Best of all, the admission fee is only $20 for an all-day pass, which is a steal for a pool party on Independence Day.
