Even though the Netherlands Carillon is technically a giant musical intstrument (the tower is comprised of over 50 giant bells), it's massive height and prime location on the Virginia side of the Potomac, bordering both the Arlington Cemetary and The Marine Corps Memorial, makes it a unique gathering spot for group events and local festivals.
