Reston, VA

If you are lucky enough to live within a quick drive of Washington, D.C., there are many great opportunities for cultural and performing arts events.

Yesterday, I provide a list of all of the places that are doing Fireworks for the 4th of July.

If you are not inclined to join the masses downtown on the National Mall to see the spectacular fireworks put on by the National Parks, you can still enjoy the entertainment programs.

On Friday night, July 3, 2009, from 8:30 pm to 10 you can watch the dress rehersal for the concerts that will take place on Independence Day. Some of the artists include: Aretha Franklin, Barry Manilow and Natasha Bedingfield. The gates will open at 3. Get there early; many Washingtonians know about this concert and make this an annual event.

So pack up your picnic basket and the family and head down to the National Mall in Washignton D.C. for a night of music under the stars!

Have a wonderful and safe Independence Day weekend.
