Slide Show: Capitol Hill Block Party 2012

We highlight some of the best moments of this year’s fest.

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!).

View the slideshow for the full rundown on Capitol Hill Block Party 2012. All photos and captions by Seth Sommerfeld.
