Trick or Treat bags are always a big hit!

On Friday, October 27, 2023 CHRS will host a children’s activity table at Hilloween, an annual free street party outside of Eastern Market. We’ll have beads to string, CHRS trick-or-treat bags, and other goodies. The festivities kick off at 5 pm and shut down at 7:30 pm.
Wondering what to expect?  Check out photos from last year.

Lollipops!

As part of our ongoing outreach efforts, Society volunteers fielded a contingent in this year’s Capitol Hill 4th of July Parade. It was great to see friends and neighbors and distribute lollipops to the spectators. Photos

On October 28, 2022 CHRS hosted a children’s activity table at Hilloween, an annual free street party outside of Eastern Market. We had beads to string, and an avalanche of  CHRS swag -pencils, lip balm, lollipops and trick-or-treat bags.  Photos.

CHRS, 2022 Parade

The Capitol Hill Parade stepped off, as planned, at 10 am from underneath the I-295/395 overpass (at 8th and I Streets SE). It was great to see friends and neighbors and distribute lollipops to the spectators. Photos

Thanks for surprising our Board of Directors with a couple of signed jerseys!

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society congratulates our Little League team, the CHRS Nats, on a great season!

Way to go, players! Many thanks to the volunteer coaches who made the season possible!

Hilloween is an annual free street party outside of Eastern Market. On  October 29, we set up our table with CHRS-theme swag.  It’s wonderful to resume this well-loved community tradition! Many thanks to the organizers! (photos)

Photos: Live and In-Person! Back to normal only better! It felt great to have an in-person 4th of July Parade on Capitol Hill. 

Sadly, an in-person parade was not possible this year. But our good neighbors, Naval Lodge No. 4 and the Jeanne, Phil Meg Team at Compass Realty, weren’t about to let lapse one of our cherished community traditions – the Capitol Hill 4th of July Parade. They solicited and assembled video clips from the organizations that participate annually, to create this virtual parade. The CHRS contingent appears at 1:30. Many thanks to the event organizers!
