Capitol Riverfront BID

Living Classrooms Foundation brings community support and volunteerism to Buzzard Point, The Yards Marina and beyond! A huge thanks for their #CapitolRiverfront Friday Night Concert Series partnership, along with The Bullfinch Group. Let's keep up the great work.

As the Trust for Public Land once again names DC the nation’s "best big-city park system," we continue to celebrate the valuable attributes that position #CapitolRiverfront parks as important community assets: equitable access & strong city funding. Thanks to Washingtonian Magazine for recognition of the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail for cycling + Yards Park for families.🌳🚴♀️💦 Cc: DC Department of Parks and Recreation

The future of South Capitol Street corridor is bright, as the #CapitolRiverfront BID, Southwest Business Improvement District (SWBID), WC Smith, and other SE and SW stakeholders look to city upgrades that will create a pedestrian-friendly boulevard and better connect our neighborhoods.

Congrats to the National Cherry Blossom Festival on another hugely successful lineup of spring celebrations. The #CapRiv BID was thrilled to partner with NCBF on this year's spectacular #Petalpalooza at Yards Park and beyond, and we already cannot wait to #SpringItOn in 2025. 🎆 🌸 Thx to Diana Mayhew Lillian Iversen Morgan Hannell Linda Lindamood Aaron Darden! 🌸

Great places do not happen by accident and District leaders, past and present, can take pride and credit for the strategic foresight and continued investments that have shaped the #CapitolRiverfront community. Congratulations to former Mayor Anthony Williams on this well-deserved honor, and thank you for making the dream of bringing baseball back to DC a reality. Cheering you on during today's First Pitch. #OpeningDay Washington Nationals

Sports is here to stay in #CapitolRiverfront. The BID supports the continued attractiveness and competitiveness of Nationals Park as an entertainment venue & sports destination, & an essential part of the visitor experience + economic vitality of the District of Columbia. The investments envisioned & proposed in DC Council legislation will allow the Washington Nationals to continue attracting & accommodating top-level events, driving dollars into local businesses, and contributing to the social fabric of our city. BID president Emeka Moneme testified earlier this week that "Great places do not happen by accident and District leaders, past and present, can take pride and credit for the strategic foresight and continued investments that have shaped this community" like Audi Field & Nationals Park. #sportscapital

Transition, Partnerships, & Community were highlighted with stakeholders & neighbors at this week's 16th Annual Meeting & State of Capitol Riverfront.

Mobility is at the 💚 of travel, continuously evolving and innovating to make way for the exploration of destinations.
