From all-day festivals on the piers to intimate performances at The Anthem, The Wharf is host to a fantastic lineup of things to do in Washington, DC. Join us for live music, waterfront workouts, outdoor movies, art shows, boat parades, and more—just take a look below or see what’s coming up on our calendar.
Join us as we celebrate the holidays and watch beautifully decorated boats pass by The Wharf. Get into the spirit as you decorate ornaments, decorate cookies (courtesy of Praline baker) or warm up by our Camp Wharf fire pit while making a s’more. Go ice skating and sample winter drinks at our Stella Artois Waterfront Beer and Wine Garden. And bring the whole family to meet Santa at the lighted Christmas tree and make memories during this annual DC tradition.
Introducing one of the best ways to view the city and the easiest mode of transportation to get to destinations on the Potomac and Anacostia rivers: our new water taxi. And if you just want to get across the Washington Channel, catch our jitney to East Potomac Park for a round of golf or a leisurely stroll.
Travel the WaterfrontFresh seafood is a given at DC’s Southwest Waterfront. But The Wharf offers more, including a wide selection of distinctive choices for food, drinks, and entertainment while you eat. Watch the chefs prepare your meal. Listen to live music. Or just people-watch while you savor the flavors of The Wharf.
