Expectations have been set super-high for the official July 4 fireworks in Washington, D.C. this year, which are expected to set records for length of display and number of fireworks deployed. We shall see. But the best fireworks in the DMV have historically been those of the Kenwood Golf and Country Club at 5601 River Road in Bethesda (Chevy Chase, officially). The club and its property are private, so don't trespass on their property. But the fireworks can be seen from nearby church and retail parking lots such as the Fourth Presbyterian Church, which has been the most-popular viewing spot in past years, as it is directly across the street. If you are lucky enough to have a backyard in line-of-sight to the club, or an apartment or condo facing the club's direction, it's also a chance to play Jay Gatsby and have a spectacular fireworks display to cap off your Independence Day party.
This year's Kenwood fireworks are scheduled for tomorrow night, Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Expect the show to start around 9:30 PM. The fireworks will be very loud, so you may want to consider having hearing protection like earplugs on hand. If you are in the vicinity and have a dog, make sure the animal is indoors before the show starts. Should inclement weather occur, Kenwood has scheduled a rain date for July 1, 2026.

Robert, what about fireworks at other clubs in the area, namely in Bethesda and Chevy Chase? Thanks!
I feel sorry for all the dogs in the vicinity.
They'll need prolonged therapy sessions.
Columbia Country Club fireworks are also tonight, June 30.
Looking like it's going to be a beautiful evening. I'm excited to see the free show without all of the headaches. DC lost me when he prohibited bringing chairs.
12:10: Columbia Country Club is tonight, June 30. Chevy Chase Club is July 3. Congressional is July 4.
Shanel, yes no weather worries tonight.
