SummerFest is almost here! There is a long list of reasons why people love summer – from longer days to outdoor movies to pool time with fancy drinks with umbrellas and grilling. It is the perfect season to have fun, relax, explore and spend time with family and friends, which is why Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center is celebrating summer with its annual SummerFest event, presented by Aquafina®, from May 24 through September 2.
See how much fun my family had during the last SummerFest!
National Harbor, Md.’s signature waterfront resort has added a plethora of complimentary, resort-only activities designed for the whole family to its entertainment schedule. Visitors can experience nightly laser light shows choreographed to everyone’s favorite summer jams, a nature-loving scavenger hunt focused on backyard bugs and kid-friendly activities by the resort’s junior Olympic-size pool.
On weekends, guests can experience live music and cocktails in Gaylord National’s lobby bar on Fridays, as well as poolside on Saturdays. For music-lovers who prefer to listen to their own beat, the resort will bring back its popular Silent Disco Parties on Saturday nights including a live DJ. Non-resort guests also can participate in the dance craze for $10.
Additional family-friendly activities include watching classic summertime movies in the resort’s 19-story garden atrium and a new ‘Campfire and S’more’ experience. Overnight guests can settle in for a night of tall tales and old-fashioned storytelling during this 25-minute event, all while enjoying everyone’s favorite camping snack, s’mores, as part of their stay.
For the ultimate SummerFest celebration, Gaylord National Resort will hold an Independence week Block Party Bash from July 2 through July 6. Resort guests can experience the best of SummerFest activities all day, every day during the week; plus additional complimentary family fun events including trivia nights at National Pastime Sports Bar & Grill, a kids craft corner, games and more.
Summer visitors also can experience pure relaxation with seasonal massage, facial and pedicure therapies at the resort’s full-service spa, Relâche Spa.
