Description

Conveniently located in the heart of D.C.’s Historic Shaw neighborhood and within walking distance to major transportation and numerous hotels, the Howard Theatre offers a unique experience that can’t be found anywhere else.

 

Built in 1910 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, The Howard Theatre has over a century of history in DC. As the city’s premier performance space, music legends of both the past and present have graced its stage.

In addition to the great acts that will perform here, The Howard has the ability to host private events with a wide range of unique features not offered anywhere else in Washington DC.

In addition, the venue has the flexibility to create an intimate wedding celebration with top-of-the-line production capabilities while also providing the benefits of a full-service kitchen, a wide range of spirits and beverages, and a full staff of professional servers, bartenders, hosts, and managers.
