This year is Capitol Heights Centennial Year! In 1908, Capitol Heights was incorporated as a town and the Capitol Heights Civic Association is planning a huge celebration! Historic Capitol Heights is still Montgomery’s most beautiful suburb and the worthwhile proposition our founders hoped Capitol Heights to be! We invite you to celebrate with us on Saturday, September 13th from 10AM until 4PM.

The celebration begins with a neighborhood parade! Our Parade of the Decades will feature residents dressed in period costume, vintage autos, a marching band, a choir group, a Trolley, a Horse and Carriage, and more! Owners of vintage antique automobiles will display their vehicles in the median of South Capitol Parkway. Local artists will display and sell their wares at Vickers Park. Entertainment scheduled throughout the day will be held at Armstrong Park.

There will be nostalgic rides through the neighborhood in horse drawn carriages! There will also be plenty of food and refreshment!

We will also celebrate our history with two special events on that day.

Spotlight on History is a self guided walking / driving tour of the churches and (exterior of) homes in Capitol Heights. Churches in Capitol Heights have been invited to open their doors for tours. Homes within the neighborhood of special interest (historic significance, interesting architecture or with an interesting folklore) will be identified. Guests can walk or drive to these homes!

Heritage and History includes displays of interviews of current and former residents of Capitol Heights. Guests can hear about living in our neighborhood throughout the years!

The celebration begins at Armstrong Park on Madison Avenue. Please help us celebrate Capitol Heights 100th Birthday!
