"The mile-long aquatic pageant features more than 60 festively decorated vessels that spread holiday cheer along the channel. The boat parade begins at 7 pm and concludes with a flourish of fireworks in the dark winter sky above. But plan to arrive a few hours early to explore and enjoy family-friendly activities up and down Wharf Street. Start the evening with ornament decorating and games at the Kids Zone in M Street Landing, create a stocking for your pets,"
"Decked out in Washington Capitals décor, the vintage Airstream trailer offers hot apple cider and all the essentials for the perfect s'more-marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, roasting sticks, and a cozy wood-burning fire. Camp Wharf is just around the corner from The Wharf Ice Rink. Whether you glide over the ice with the grace of a swan or the sprawled limbs of a newborn giraffe, there's nothing like skating in the glow of DC's iconic monuments and The Wharf's twinkling lights."
