National Harbor

National Harbor is an amazing water-front resort (read: mini-city) and has a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. While we expect you’ll be too busy having a great time at Katsucon to want to do anything else, information on National Harbor and everything it offers can be found at the official site and there’s a very cool interactive map located here.
