Seattle photographer Jim Bennett attended all three days of the 2013 Capitol Hill Block Party, capturing nearly 300 photos of the musicians and crowds at the annual music festival in the heart of the Capitol Hill club district near the intersection of East Pike Street and 12th Avenue. View a selection of his photos below.

The festival Friday through Sunday, July 26-28, boasted more than 100 acts from all genres, performing on six stages in a tightly packed urban neighborhood on what is always one of Seattle’s sunniest summer weekends.
