Join REI for 3-day Block Party to celebrate the Grand Opening of our DC Flagship store!

Friday we'll open the doors at 10am with some big band fanfare and DJs to keep the party going all day.

Saturday and Sunday we'll expand the block party to a main stage with live bands, Outdoor School classes, beer gardens, s'mores, screen printing, a climbing wall, and more.

  • “Web-cutting” Ceremony at 10am Friday: Instead of a traditional ribbon-cutting, REI opens new stores by cutting a web of climbing rope! REI CEO Jerry Stritzke, local officials and the store team will take part in the ceremony.
  • Class Highlights Include: Reading and Predicting Backcountry Weather, How to Fix a Flat, How to Read a Topography Map and Smartphone Photography
