Washington DC Snowball Fight Association Schedules Battle For Sunday!


via Washington DC Snowball Fight Association

Details from the Washington DC Snowball Fight Association:

“Snowballers of DC! Do you hear the battle cry?! We are gathering for the One Snowball After Another battle on the National Mall at 12th St NW at 11am on Sunday!

This battle marks one decade (to the day!) since our “Snow Wars” battle of Dupont Circle Park in January 2016. It also will be event #20 since our snowball movement began on that fateful Snowmaggedon day in February 2010.

Your mission this Sunday, should you choose to accept, is to pick your side of the Mall — facing the Washington Monument or facing the Capitol building –and then when you hear the battle cry you know and love, CHAAAAARGE!

Since it’s going to be VERY cold on Sunday, please wear plenty of layers.

Here are some guidelines and disclaimers, based on our 16 years of experience in doing this:

– Wear goggles, if you can, to protect your eyes
– Do NOT throw ice
– Everyone is individually responsible for his or her actions at the battle
– Please follow any instructions from the National Park Police or other law enforcement
– Stay home and follow the battle on local TV and social media, if you have any medical conditions that can be affected by high intensity and high impact activity
And most importantly: HAVE FUN!

Note: Everything is subject to change as a result of shifting weather.”
