The Capitol Hill Block Party is an annual music festival that draws upon and showcases the best indie and underground rock in the US, with a special focus on Northwest artists. Launched 11 years ago, the Block Party has evolved into one of Seattle's most anticipated outdoor music festivals. With over 50 bands on 4 stages, great food, and plenty of cheap beer, this is one of the best parties of the summer.
We have partnered with KEXP to broadcast selected live performances from several bands throughout the weekend. John Richards and Cheryl Waters and other KEXP DJ's will also be broadcasting their shows like from the festival Friday and Saturday day and night. And The Stranger crew will be filming and posting clips on their awesome music blog, Line Out.
Partial proceeds from the Block Party benefit two excellent non-profits: Home Alive, which encourages violence prevention, and the Vera Project, a youth-run all-ages venue and recording studio in Seattle.
"Seattle's biggest plunge into pop culture... The Capitol Hill Block Party is the rock-music community's most prestigious showcase." —The Seattle Times
"The Capitol Hill Block Party is a huge, two-day explosion of bands and a great opportunity to see the most exciting new music from the best music scene in the country all while supporting great non-profit programs like The Vera Project and Home Alive." —The Stranger
"This ain't no burnt-wiener-and-potato-salad kind of block party. No, this one is more like a sweaty, boozy, scaled-down version of Sasquatch, only during the dog days of summer and right in our own backyard.... The Block Party has grown from an endearing street fair to a monster takeover of the now hotter than ever corridor of Pike between 12th Ave all the way down to Broadway." —Seattle Weekly
Block Party partners include The Stranger and 90.3 KEXP & KEXP.org.
In association with Miller Brewing, 107.7 The End, SEIU, The Washington Bus, and Café Vita.
