While the Washington, D.C., dating scene may be famously flawed, there are definitely moments around the District that come about twice a year that show how romantic Washingtonians can be!
It may be the scores of couples taking the time to admire the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms in the spring, or ever classic fall foliage treks that come at the start of cuffing season… Or it may be when Downtown DC puts on an event to try and break the Guinness World Record for most couples kissing under the mistletoe at once.
When will the Guinness World Record attempt take place?
The attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most couples kissing under the mistletoe at the same time will be on Saturday, December 13th!
The event will take place in the afternoon, with the following schedule:
- 3 pm – food, drinks, and live entertainment kicking off the celebration.
- 4 pm – preparations for the world record attempt begin.
- 5 pm – Officially attempt to break the Guinness World Record
How do you register to participate?
To participate in the Guinness World Record attempt for most couples kissing under the mistletoe, you will have to register in advance online, which can be done completely for free!
It’s worth noting that only one person per couple is obligated to sign up, as each person who completes the registration agrees that they are bringing one consenting partner to participate in the world record attempt.
The registration is essential to ensure that the world record attempt goes smoothly, as the organizers want to minimize the risk of confusion about the exact number of couples participating for the record keepers from Guinness World Records.
Where is the world record attempt going to take place?
The attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most couples kissing under the mistletoe will take place at Anthem Row below a massive 10-foot mistletoe installation being suspended 30 feet in the air!
The exact location is at Anthem Row, 800 K Street NW, and to get there, the easiest metro stop will be Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro Station (Red/Green/Yellow lines) via the 7th and H Street exit.
