The great thing about Independence Day is that it’s more than just an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate as a nation. It’s a chance for us to come together on the hometown level.
We’re fortunate that in D.C. and the surrounding areas, we have some of the most active, close-knit communities you’ll find anywhere. And the Fourth of July weekend is jam-packed with fun events in towns throughout the region. Here are a few of our favorite events happening near Brookfield Residential communities.
