For the past decade, Barracks Row Main Street has worked tirelessly to preserve and enhance Capitol Hill’s historic 8^th Street, SE, commercial corridor and to revitalize its business community.

The group’s focus is the five blocks of 8^th Street that stretch south from Pennsylvania Ave S.E. to the terminus of 8^th Street at the Washington Navy Yard along M Street, S.E.

Barracks Row is located eight blocks east of the U.S. Capitol.

Santa Arrives on Barracks Row: 12/16/17- Taoti Creative 1-5PM

Cookies and Hot Chocolate compliments Ted's Bulletin

Polar Express playing at the Miracle Theater 11AM on 12/16

It's a Saturday morning pajama movie!

Mark your calendar: Santa 12-16-17; 530 8th Street 1-5PM

Santa arrived by Uber (since snow is so scarce) and spent all afternoon reviewing Letters to Santa and visiting with kids who were ready to tell him just exactly they wanted for Christmas.

Last year for the first time ever Santa's Capitol Hill visit was held INDOORS. Santa arrived by Uber (since snow is so scarce) and spent all afternoon reviewing Letters to Santa and visiting with kids who were ready to tell him just exactly they wanted for Christmas.

This year Santa will be back again at Taoti

Creative, 530 8th St, SE. Plus, we'll be introducing someone new, Ted. The 6' tall Teddy Bear, from Ted's Bulletin will be with us, joining the Minion and our crazy Giant Penguin at the door.

What to wear? Well if you're going to the movies first, then wear your pajamas! The 11AM show at Miracle Theater is a pajama movie - Polar Express. Afterwards visit Santa at Taoti Creative where our Barracks Row toy train (another Polar Express) will wind it's way among the computer desks and Santa Letter Writing Stations.

Watch out for Capitol Hill Chorale- there, up on Taoti's roof- caroling! And, that

awesome face painter, Ms Patricia, from Fall Festival, is BACK. She'll be with us from 1:00- 4PM available to make you into the holiday character of your dreams! Sugar Plum Fairy? Scrooge? A Purple Tiger ? No problem!

Santa Arrives on 8th Street is a Toys for Tots event- and it's free- just bring along a new, unwrapped toy and join the fun!
