National Archives Building

This is a three-day event, and we will MeetUp for the Saturday event. There are two events, the first is held on the National Archives lawn. It's from 9am-noon and It's a dog friendly celebration blends community fun with red, white, and blue spirit for humans and furry friends alike. Guests will enjoy interactive booths from local and national organizations, including the ASPCA and Mars, Incorporated brands, music, pet-themed caricatures, face painting, selfie stations, treat and swag giveaways, and a Patriotic Pooch Contest, so don’t forget to dress your dog in their patriotic finest! Proof of a current rabies vaccination is required for all dogs attending. Tickets are offered for free on the link below.
The next event event is the same day called Salute to Service 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. ET
In honor of the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army and Navy and 82nd anniversary of D-Day, this tribute celebrates service members past and present. Guests will enjoy live performances by military bands, step inside a Vietnam War Army helicopter, and participate in hands-on activities that connect them to stories of service found within the National Archives. United States Navy Memorial President and CEO Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr., USN (Ret) will emcee the event. I'll be there at the first event, stay tuned to the messages as to the exact location, as I have no idea how the area will look.
