Please join Councilmember Allen and hundreds of Ward 6 neighbors at the 20th Annual "Brickie" Awards on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 6-8 pm at the Hill Center! We'll be celebrating the community members, organizations, groups, and businesses that go above and beyond to make Ward 6 a great place to call home.

Each year, my office hosts this event to bring the community together for free food and drinks donated by your favorite local businesses, lively conversation, and of course, our iconic brick awards to honor those who go the extra mile for Ward 6.

Nominations are closed at this time, and thanks to everyone who nominated their favorite neighbors!

Here are our award categories:

• Neighbor
• Community Organization
• Business
• Public Service
• Civic Pride

I hope you'll come ready to celebrate them, and, of course, enjoy the food! Here's a taste of some of the many incredible local restaurants and businesses we're excited to welcome: 

2Fifty BBQ, Atlas Brew Works, Barrel, DC Brau, Hill East Burger, la Betty, The Little Grand, The Queen Vic, Tiki Garden Thai Street Food, Tunnicliff's, and more to come!

The 20th Annual Ward 6 Brickie Awards will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3, at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital (921 Pennsylvania Avenue SE).
