The Capital House Music Festival - World Music Event officially opens and closes summer every year. We lost our friend, partner and headliner Sam "The Man" Burns on March 7th, 2020. We have and continue work directly with his family, the estate and the Samuel Andre Burns Legacy Foundation to support Sam's visions and love, and to spread "Disco's Revenge" in his name.
We weathered the COVID storm and YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT - We strongly encourage you to get vaccinated. #GETYOURSHOT at #CapHouseFest - DC Department of Health will be there giving FREE vaccines.
The safest course for our attendees, artists, dancers, guest, and community is that WE REQUIRE FACE COVERINGS and practice #SOCIALDISDANCING at #CapHouseFest - The Official Summer Opener!
Our mission is to move your body with World House Music, raise funds and donations for Inner City Music Programs. Our 2021 Charity is The Samuel Andre Burns Legacy Foundation and we have already helped them establish their non-profit. We intend to raise funds to help them get established and develop their Arts and Cultural programs. It is dire that we all support the arts and make them accessible to the inner city youth!
We've donated over $10,000 in services and equipment since 2018. This is our FREE event for the community. In our third year 2019 over 2000 came out. Chrysis Entertainment is our Presenting Sponsor, WPFW 89.3 is our Radio Sponsor and Fusicology.com are our Media Partners.
More information about The Samuel Andre Burns Legacy Foundation can be found at www.samthemanburns.org. The Official Summer Opener is a salute to Sam "The Man" Burns, featuring several DJs that were personally connected to Sam including WPFW's DJ Paul Howard, who arguably was "Sam's Protege." Also Rita Burns whom in Sam's last year began to play together with Sam. The now infamous "Burn Party" was not to be missed. Our lineup of local talent and grooving DJs changes every year!

REVIEWS...."EXCELLENT EVENT. The positive energy was electric, infectious and contagious. What happened in the park on Monday definitely catapults DC into the tier of premier Labor Day House Music events in the country. The dance space was wide, open and shady. The rain that fell heightened the spiritual aura of what House is about... We were all the blessed Monday in Malcolm X Park. I know I was."
