HRA Pride Party 2025 ✨
World Pride is coming to DC — and we’re keeping the celebration going right here in Holmes Run Acres!
Join us for our now-annual HRA Pride Party — a tradition that began in 2018 and has grown into a vibrant mini block party. This year, we’re spreading the love to a new spot: Laurel Court.
Saturday, June 14th | 3 PM
RSVP now!
🫧 Bubbles, dancing, color, and community joy
🎶 DJ Cale
🌮 Taco truck
🍦 Ice cream truck
Update: Due to mechanical issues, the taco truck is no longer able to come, but there will be an ice cream truck, jello-shots, and cold water to help beat the heat and curb any hunger pains. Bring a chair, drink of choice, maybe a poncho, and your dancing shoes for an afternoon of music, fun, and community.
All are welcome — families, friends, allies, and neighbors.
Dress loud, proud, and colorful — and stay tuned for more details!

70th Anniversary PArty PHoto Galleries
Thanks to everyone for coming out to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of HRA!
The Civic Association hosted a party at the HRA Pool on Sept 17th, open to all residents. Over 200 neighbors and friends came out, including original settlers and newcomers of less than 12 hours. Honestly, it was pretty magical. The highlight was the HRA Mixtape featuring live performances from our resident musicians. Please give them some love by attending an upcoming show, following them on social media, streaming their tracks on loop on Spotify, etc:

Ice Cream Social - July 4, 2018
It was an unbelievably hot day, but there was a great turnout and all enjoyed celebrating the holiday with the neighborhood. So much fun cooling down with popsicles and running through sprinklers!
