Come show the love that Sam “The Man” Burns shared with so many. Our Official Summer Opener is kicking off World Pride & Black Pride 2025 with a stellar line up featuring World music and soulful House grooves!

We lost our friend, partner and headliner Sam “The Man” Burns on March 7th, 2020. We have and continue work directly with his family, the estate and the Samuel Andre Burns Legacy Foundation to support Sam’s visions and love, and to spread “Disco’s Revenge” in his name.

The Capital House Music Festival – World Music Event officially opens and closes summer every year.  Everyone is welcome to join Capital House Music Festival for music, dancing and live performances. Black, White and Brown, you can all get down. Young, old and LBTGQ, we got something for you!
