'city fired' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'up pageant's conclusion with show dancing' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates an anagram (letters get chucked up).
'conclusion' says to take the final letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The final letter of 'pageant' is 't'.
't'+'show'+'dancing'='tshowdancing'
'tshowdancing' with letters rearranged gives 'WASHINGTON D C'.
