The National Harbor hosts many annual events, including:

  • ICE! by Gaylord National Resort

  • Wine & Food Festival
  • Bobby McKey’s Kids Day
  • Beer, Bourbon, & BBQ Festival
  • Crab & Beer Festival

The Capital Wheel at National Harbor is also a fun place to visit.

There are plenty of great places to eat at the National Harbor. No matter what you are in the mood for, you can take your pick from over 20 restaurants.

The National Harbor Marina offers boat rentals, fishing tours, charters, and sightseeing cruises. A water taxi service is available, connecting the waterfront of the National Harbor and Old Town Alexandria. You can also use the water taxi to travel to Nationals Park and take in a ball game.

    How do I get from National Harbor to DC without a car? Are you near a metro line?
