limani dc wharf mediterranean restaurant washington dc boat parade

*The best view of DC’s famous Holiday Boat Parade is waiting for you at Limani, DC. This over-the-water gem on the Southwest Waterfront offers unbeatable sights, festive vibes, and cozy luxury.

Located at The Wharf, Limani is the only three-story restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Washington Channel. Every table guarantees water views, and for the ultimate experience, you can reserve a private igloo on the penthouse balcony turned Winter Wonderland.

Why Limani is the Perfect Holiday Spot

Limani is transforming its rooftop for the holidays. Picture this: temperature-controlled igloos, Bose sound systems, and a special holiday menu—all while overlooking the twinkling lights of the boat parade. Add festive touches like life-sized nutcrackers, a sleigh for Instagram photos, and a 10-foot holiday tree, and you’ve got the ultimate holiday vibe.

The festivities don’t stop there. Enjoy complimentary koulourakia (traditional Greek cookies) and specialty holiday drinks like Rakomelo, a cozy cocktail of raki, Greek honey, cinnamon, and cloves. Or try the “Spicy Dionysus,” a mulled wine cocktail inspired by the Greek god of wine.

A Full Night of Holiday Fun at The Wharf

The Holiday Boat Parade isn’t just about the boats. On December 7th, from 6:00–8:00 pm, The Wharf will be alive with holiday activities like s’mores, ornament decorating, and live music from local DC bands. Santa himself will be there for photos and visits.

At 7:00 pm, the illuminated boats will parade through the Washington Channel, followed by a stunning fireworks finale at 8:00 pm. All of this can be enjoyed from the warmth of Limani’s stunning vantage points.

Give Back While Celebrating

Limani is also hosting a toy drive benefiting Volunteers of America. Bring a gift and make someone’s holiday brighter.
