What is the Capitol Hill Block Party?
The Capitol Hill Block
party happens every summer in Seattle and showcases well over five dozen bands from all around the nation and specifically indie bands from the midwest. The Capitol Hill Block Party tickets are a lot cheaper than other music festivals, making it a poor music lover's dream come true. It is a celebration of progressive independent music and independent thought, as well as the history of that.
When does the Capitol Hill Block Party Happen?
The
Capitol Hill Block Party happens ever year during the month of July. This year it's from the 24th through the 25th, with excellent lineups on both days. Advance tickets are available to go to the Capitol Hill
Block Party at Urban Outfitters and Ticketwest.com and the tickets will be available up through the first day of CHBP (Friday July 24th). Tickets sold out quickly last year, and it's first come first serve so I suggest you get to it!

How much does the Capitol Hill Block Party cost?
For one day it costs $23 or $42 for both of the days. You will not find another music festival this inexpensive. This is so cheap and the lineup is simply fantastic. You shouldn't miss this one. All ticket sales are final and the show goes on in rain or shine, so get ready!

However old you are! There is no restriction on ages at the Capitol Hill Block Party. In fact, if you're 10 or under you go FOR FREE when you're accompanied by an adult. The Neumos stage
is 21 and over and you must have a valid government issued ID to enter.
If you don't have an idea you won't be let into the stage, so don't forget it at home. No excuses!

Re-entry
is allowed with your ticket stub and hand stamped. If you do not have
both of these two you will not, under any circumstances, be allowed
back into the festival. Be wise and make sure you keep your ticket stub
in a safe place, and make sure to get your hand stamped if you are
leaving. They are very strict about this and you won't be let back in
to listen to the music.
What can I bring into the Capitol Hill Block Party?
If
you want to take photographs you are allowed to bring in a camera

bottle of water, small sacks and packs, a hat and sunscreen to pretect
you from harmful UV rays while you listen to music, and lighters.
Nothing illegal and dangerous!

Sure.
There's going to be a beer garden that has a stellar choice and in
addition there will be a few bars inside of the music festival. If you
want to drink you need to bring a valid ID stating that you are over
twenty one years of age. No exceptions.
What if the weather sucks and it rains at the Capitol Hill Block Party?
Are you serious? It's Seattle. The chance that it might rain is high. The show will go on, though certain acts may be shifted. The schedule is not set until it has already happened so there are no promises.
