Independence Day "On the Hill"

Independence Day "On the Hill" is about to heat up Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall! ðŸ‘§ðŸ‘¦  From 12–5 PM, the Kid’s Zone on Wainwright Field is bouncing with fun—literally! Think 9 bounce houses, face painting, and giant Jenga and Checkers games. Then at 5 PM, Whipple Field turns it up with axe throwing, a dunk tank, smoky BBQ, our brand new MWR Food & Beverage Trailer, and a cool-down misting tent w/giant fans! DJ will be on-hand to keep the partying going until the DC fireworks shine over the Washington Monument (approx. 9pm).

Bring your squad, your sunscreen, and your red, white & blue spirit—this 4th is gonna be a blast!

Kid's Zone (Bounce Houses) - $10 all you can bounce - Open 12pm-5pm on Wainwright Field


Axe Throwing Trailer - $10 for 35 minutes - Open 5pm-9pm on Whipple Field
