WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2014) - With Old Glory waving boldly over the U.S. Capitol and fireworks exploding against the evening sky, there's no better place to experience the Fourth of July than in Washington, D.C.

As plans for the fun and festivities emerge, those who prefer to be within walking distance of major Washington, D.C. events will find the comforts of a stylish hotel near Washington Monument, the U.S. Capitol and popular Metro stations adds more time for fun and less stress over getting there. Ideally situated in the heart of spectacular Fourth of July events, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Washington, D.C./Downtown hotel puts guests near National Mall, the White House, the Smithsonian Institution and the many monuments and memorials that encompass the area so they can enjoy everything from America's National Independence Day Parade to the explosive display of fireworks that fill the sky over the National Mall.

With this year's Fourth of July holiday falling on Friday, there's great opportunity for a long weekend escape to the nation's capital, where endless events ensure something for everyone. A popular annual event, this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival will transform the National Mall into an outdoor exposition filled with living cultural displays produced annually by the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Fun and educational, the event which wraps up its 2014 program July 2-6 is free and will focus on the cultures of China and Kenya.

And, nothing goes better with an exhilarating Fourth of July celebration than America's favorite sport. Baseball fans staying at the Fairfield Inn and Suites can easily make their way to National Park, where the Washington Nationals will be hosting the Chicago Cubs in a three-day series July 4-6. The stadium is located on the Green Metro Line with access just steps from the hotel at the Gallery Place/Chinatown Station.
