Waterfront Summer Celebration June 26, 2011

Outdoor grilling, kids’ activities, and DC’s largest outdoor water balloon battle highlight a day of festivities at Georgetown, DC, Waterfront Summer Celebration on Sunday. The rhythmic sounds of steel drums will transform The Washington Harbour into a tropical getaway, with a live steel drum band performing. Families are also encouraged to bring the kids, as there will be a special children’s area where kids can play and join in on the festivities with balloon sculptors, face painting, and more.

The highlight of the celebration will be The Great Georgetown Water Balloon Battle, inviting Washingtonians to toss hundreds of pre-filled water balloons and compete to win prizes. Starting at 2 pm, the playful competition will begin with a Boardwalk Water Balloon Toss, where teams of contenders will try their hardest to pass balloons back and forth without letting them burst on the ground. The festivities will culminate with a Water Balloon Battle. Super Soakers and other fun water toys are also welcome.

To fuel people up for the playful combat, Tony and Joe’s and Nick’s Riverside Grill, two of Georgetown’s favorite eateries, will be grilling up summertime favorites like gourmet burgers and fresh seafood. Restaurants will keep participants hydrated and cool with cold drinks, refreshing cocktails, and fresh, creamy gelato.
