In the D.C. region, conversations often start with, 鈥淲hat do you do?鈥� 草莓传媒鈥檚 鈥�Working Capital鈥� series profiles the people whose jobs make the D.C. region run.
Have you ever wondered what it鈥檚 like to be responsible for setting up one of the D.C. area’s coolest holiday tree displays? Or what it鈥檚 like to throw the switch that sets off a fireworks show in the nation鈥檚 capital?
In today鈥檚 special 鈥淲orking Capital鈥� edition of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥� we got to experience both, posing as interim “holiday celebration planners” for the day in National Harbor!
Every night through Dec. 27, National Harbor in Maryland will host its “Holidays at National Harbor” events, featuring a unique 3-minute LED Christmas tree light show every half hour. On Saturdays, a fireworks show will take place starting at 5:30 p.m.
As we found out, a ton of work takes place behind the scenes to make it all happen, from rigging nearly 1,000 pyrotechnic devices to assembling and programming more than 90,000 lights that operate in sync!
