Fun Facts

The Wharf, including the Wharf Day Docks, opened in 2017 as part of a $2.5 billion redevelopment project to revitalize the Southwest Waterfront area.

The Wharf has been designed with sustainability in mind, featuring green roofs, rain gardens, and a stormwater management system to protect the Potomac River.

The docks are a hub for community gatherings, including concerts, festivals, and the annual District Holiday Boat Parade.

The Southwest Waterfront has a rich history, once serving as a bustling commercial port in the 19th century.

Visitors can enjoy picturesque views of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial from the docks.
