Capitol Hill Block Party came and went in a flurry of rock, hip-hop, soul, neon-colored sunglasses, eyeliner, (very short) shorts, and plenty of adult beverages. As soon as our eardrums stopped buzzing, we put together this slideshow highlighting top moments from this year’s three-day music festival. We’ve got the big names of the mainstage (Fitz and the Tantrums, Allen Stone, Grimes), local flavor, and other quirky randomness (socks!).
