Capitol Hill Block Party

Capitol Hill (Seattle, WA)
07/21/23 - 07/23/23

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of Capitol Hill Block Party, a summer tradition that takes place in the heart of Seattle, Washington’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. With 8 different music-filled stages spread across the 3-block radius, there is guaranteed to be an artist for lovers of all genres. The 3-day festival kicked off Friday afternoon through Sunday night with high energy performances from headliners Sofi Tukker, Denzel Curry, and Louis the Child.

Partnering with dozens of local and national businesses, Capitol Hill Block Party brought the perfect mix of good eats and engaging activities. The streets of Capitol Hill transformed into a marketplace of delicious food from Seattle’s most famous food trucks, and attendees could explore creative installations like a confessional booth and instant photo truck for capturing festival memories.

Block Party is a beautiful example of how music and people coming together can make an unforgettable event – bringing locals and visitors together to celebrate not just music, but also Seattle’s art and food scene. The festival returns next year in mid-July, and if you ever find yourself in Seattle this time of year, Capitol Hill Block Party is without a doubt a can’t-miss festival.
