Join Old Ebbitt Grill for the First Annual Ebbitt Block Party. The Block Party will be held in a traditional style right in the Ebbitt's backyard on G Street NW between 14th and 15th Streets. Featuring incredible food provided by Old Ebbitt Grill, the Block Party will entertain party guests with performances by Mudcat, a high-energy Blues Musician from Atlanta, local street performers, and headlined by Bruce in the USA. Nationally known as the premier Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band, Bruce in the USA will shock the attendees with a performance recognized by Clarence Clemons himself as the 'Greatest Tribute' he has ever seen.

The Party begins at 6:00 pm on Saturday, September 5th, 2009 and will continue into the night until 11:00pm. Tickets are available at $75.00 per ticket until September 5th. If available, tickets will be offered at the door of the event for $85.00 per ticket. Each ticket includes entry, 5 Food Tickets redeemable for Old Ebbitt's Block Party Fare, and 5 drink tickets redeemable for your choice of beverage (including beer, wine, frozen cocktails, soda, and water). Additional food and beverage tickets will be available for purchase during the party. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.ebbittblockparty.com/

A portion of the proceeds from the Block Party will go towards D.C. Central Kitchen, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary proudly exploring new ways to combat hunger and create opportunity. In addition, we are encouraging donations of canned tuna fish which can be brought to the Block Party and exchanged for a complimentary Drink Ticket. Limit 1 (one) complimentary Drink Ticket per guest.

Seems really expensive to me. I guess that's D.C. for you.

Maybe not. But then the press release is short of important details, like their definition of "portion".

Hi All,

Due to an overwhelming number of requests, as of today we are offering entrance-only tickets for the Ebbitt Block Party for $25 each. These tickets do not include food or beverage like the $75 package that is still available. Food and beverage tickets will be available for purchase in the event.

Hope to see you there.

Announcing the 2nd Annual Ebbitt Block Party on June 19, 2010

It's summer in the city and the sun's out so it's time to shut down G street and turn up the music. Join us as we push DC summertime into full swing! The 2nd Annual Ebbitt Block Party has quickly established itself as DC's premiere street festival and tastiest cookout. We will be parking ourselves on the 1400 block of G street, paving the way for hours of non stop musical performances and sparking up the grills for signature Old Ebbitt Grill food and drink! Write the date down and sunscreen up, we can't wait to see you there!

We are joined again this summer by our charitable partner, the DC Central Kitchen who will again be collecting canned or commercially packaged nuts and raisins, as well as can openers. Bring something to contribute and receive a free raffle ticket for each item!

For more information about menu, drinks, performances, and tickets please visit the website http://ebbittblockparty.com/

Hope to see you there!
