Lip Sync Battle at Anthem Row

Every Tuesday starting at 5:00 p.m. from August 26 - September 9 at Anthem Row, contestants will bring their A-game with props, costumes, and over-the-top performances in a wildly fun, high-energy battle for the Golden Mic Trophy and Downtown D.C. prizes. Sign up in advance to claim your moment under the lights.

A live DJ keeps the party going with dance-floor favorites and line dances, while the audience helps decide each week’s winner using a voting app explained at the show.
