💨 Abstract

Thousands flock to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., each July 4th to secure spots for the evening fireworks display. This tradition attracts both locals and visitors, including lifelong Washingtonians and bucket-listers. Some make it an annual family event, while others attend for the first time. This year, individuals like Kenneth Alexander from Greensboro, North Carolina, and Noah Castilla from Peru, joined by their families, participated in the festivity.
