Hosted by the HU MOVEMAKERS and the Alumni Host Committee!
Join us for an outdoor tailgate/block party before, during, and immediately following the football game! This event will bring together Howard/TSU alumni and friends from across the country for a lively afternoon of DJs, cocktails, food trucks, and socializing. Located at an 11,000-square-foot outdoor venue, the event is set within a refurbished 5000-series Metro railcar at the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station. Our multi-purpose bar and cultural venue offers an arts-driven space designed to connect the community and celebrate DC’s rich history and culture.
