After reading your post, I am thinking of 2024.

MY BOLD.

My main goal would be to shoot photos of the fireworks and things related to Independance Day in DC.

Re: July 3rd Rehersal. Can I bring in camera gears (also tripod?) through security? Capitol Grounds Prohibited Items Same question for the Mall during day time on the 4th? I would think so...if I recall, there was only a short list of prohibited items.
Are there location at Gravelly Point to set up Tripod without interfering other spectators? There was a tripod within my line of site and it didn't interfere with my enjoyment. I also saw several other tripods setup in the vicinity.

If time allows, I (and most certainly many others on this thread now and in the future) would love to see some photos from this event.

TIA.
