Select D.C. public pools will stay open late this summer for free special events that city officials are calling “Late Night Drip.”
The pool parties open to people of all ages will take place starting this Friday from 6 to 11 p.m.., Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced Tuesday.
“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,” Bowser said in a statement. “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.”
