CHBP 2016 – Cheat Sheet, Pro-Tips, and Last Minute Info

It’s that time of year again; Capitol Hill Block Party. Tonight, as we lay down after a hard day’s work and close our eyes, we will dream in parallel of many things. What the stages look like, what friends we’ll see there, and a “he’s pointing at me” acknowledgement moment from our favorite artists. As we snooze away the CHBP fairies emerge and begin their work by vigorously roping off a six block section of our beloved Capitol Hill.

With around 100 local and national artists, two outdoor stages, 3 indoor stages, dozens of bars and restaurants, there will be no shortage of places to be this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. With just a few days left, we’re sure you’re already prepared, but humor us with one last lap around the basics. Let’s take a look at the weather, what to bring, what not to bring, schedule, and anything else you may have overlooked.

Capitol Hill Block Party has been working hard to make this a great experience, so help preserve that experience for returning patrons, new-comers, yourself, and businesses by respecting others’ space and belongings. Make sure to throw trash and recycling away in proper receptacles. It can get very crowded and hot throughout the weekend so keep an eye out for one-another and make this a safe event for all. Oh, and have a blast!
