About The Howard Theatre
Nestled in the heart of the Nation’s Capital, The Howard Theatre stands firmly as a cultural institution and community centerpiece since its grand opening in 1910. From Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, to Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown, The Howard’s storied history makes this venue a one-of-a-kind guest experience for all those who enter. Staying true to its roots, “The Theatre for the People” is more than just a concert hall — it’s an extension of the vibrant community that is Washington, D.C. Whether it’s a corporate meeting, wedding reception, charity fundraiser, holiday party, awards show, or social event, The Howard offers a customizable event space with the goal of creating a lasting impression for all who gather within its walls. Preserved as a national historic site, The Howard reopened its doors in 2012 after a multi-million dollar renovation aimed to preserve the iconic attributes of the venue, while modernizing it to meet today’s entertainment standards and enhancing the guest experience for both concert goers and event attendees alike.
