District Pier at The Wharf

"The Day Docks at the Wharf Marina offer hourly side-tie dockage every day during the boating season. If your stay is longer than a few hours, check out the accommodations at Market Docks. The spaces are available on a first-come basis and range between $30 to $50 an hour. But a spot here gives you access to all the bars and restaurants the Southwest Waterfront stretch has to offer. Starting this weekend, a slice of the Wharf transforms into a Pixar-themed mini-golf course through the summer." - Claudia Rosenbaum

"Don you dirndl or lederhosen starting Friday, September 15, and head to the Southwest Waterfront all weekend for German fare, stein-hoisting contests, and Sam Adams Octoberfest pours at participating bars at the Wharf (Boardwalk Bar & Arcade, Brighton SW1, Canopy Central, Cantina Bambina, Easy Company, H-Bar at Hyatt House, Kaliwa, Kirwans On The Wharf, Lucky Buns, Whiskey Charlie and Rappahannock Oyster Bar). The 11th annual Wiener 500 Dachshund Dash is set for Saturday, September 16. View the full Oktoberfest lineup here." - Tierney Plumb

"Washington Blade, in partnership with LURe DC and The Wharf, will host the Absolut-sponsored 2nd annual Pride on the Pier on Saturday, June 8, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be DJs, dancing, and a fireworks finale. Booze available for purchase includes DC Brau’s Pride Brau Pils cans starring LGBTQ activist and Stonewall icon Marsha P. Johnson. The Dockmasters Building will host two VIP blocks with catered food and an open bar. Also expect a confetti cookie dessert stand from the Wharf’s Milk Bar." - Tierney Plumb
