“The nation’s capital is the icing on the birthday cake. The National Mall will be center stage for celebrations, a year-long event hosted by the National Park Service, Smithsonian, and the National Archives. Expect fireworks, a parade, a two-day celebration on Pennsylvania Avenue, and an entire month-long festival on the National Mall. The National Archives in D.C. is the only place to see the Declaration of Independence.”
