Congress Heights

Cheer on exciting sports action, catch a concert in DC’s Congress Heights neighborhood.

Located East of the river just beyond Anacostia, Congress Heights and the surrounding area has quickly emerged as a hub for exciting sports events and live concerts since the arrival of the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Set on the site of Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital East Campus, the multi-purpose, 5,000-seat venue plays host to basketball games, esports outings and live music. Primarily a residential area, the neighborhood also includes arts and culture centers, especially focused on the area’s African American history and culture.
