DC's 'Late Night Drip' pool parties start in Southeast
WASHINGTON - Late Night Drip, a series of outdoor pool parties for D.C. residents, is set to begin Friday night in Southeast.
The new initiative was announced by Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) earlier this week. The plan is for residents of all ages to have some fun at outdoor pools and recreation centers across the District.
"We’ve been thrilled to see the success of DPR’s innovative Late Night Hype events, with thousands of residents joining together for nights of community fun," Mayor Bowser said. "Now, we’re excited to expand the popular series to our pools and ensure young people have plenty of safe, fun, and engaging options this summer throughout the District."
