Social and Cultural Programs

Capitol Hill Village sponsors and recommends many programs, lectures, and other events each month. Some are for members only; others are for members, social members, and other interested persons. For the latter category, members are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors to the program in order to introduce them to Capitol Hill Village.

A list of current events and programs, sponsored or recommended by CHV, is maintained on the CHV website. Capitol Hill Village News, posted each month, includes a complete calendar of events. Weekly reminders of events are e-mailed each Monday to all on the CHV database with e-mail.

Examples of programs and events offered by CHV include the following:
