The first look that Capitol Citizens get of the honored Tributes is the Tribute Parade, a glorious chariot ride through the city which ends with a trip down the Avenue of the Tributes to the Presidential Mansion.
The Tribute Parade
The Training Center
The Training Center is a cutting edge high-tech facility for all of our Tributes to gain knowledge in areas such as weaponry, camouflage, and nature survival.
Our talented assessors dutifully oversee the Tributes' progress and use their experience to issue an important Training Score to represent a Tribute's potential.
Tribute Parade Costume Museum
The Tribute Parade Costume Museum was built to showcase the absolute best of the garments designed by our talented stylists. Many of these pieces were even worn by Tributes who went on to become Victors.
District 4 is considered "easy to design", considering their citizens are often tanned and healthy through their active lifestyle. Only a fool would put a District 4 Tribute in a shapeless toga! This is one of the district's more memorable designs, made of seaweed and netting, even originally featuring live starfish (which only survived for one day out of the water)
This design from District 8 is considered its most memorable and is arguably the predecessor to "Girl on Fire". Made from an immesurable amount of fabric, the Tributes raised their arms during their chariot ride, sending lengths and lengths of red fabric dramatically flowing behind them, capturing the attention and hearts of all those watching.

| These outfits from District 1 were inspired by a book found buried in a ruined building called, "History of Fashion from Around the World" and features mysterious styles of ancient people called, "Italians", "Greeks", "Indians", and "Elizabethans". |
 |
| District 2 has long had a tradition of "Warrior Couture" and the talented stylist, inspired by the large stature of both of his Tributes this year, designed a look he called "The Stone Giants" |
Possibly one of the more noteworthy creations for District 3, the stylist for this year created the first parade garments to feature holographic projection.
Despite our talented Stylists' best efforts, they simply couldn't make the male Tribute from District 6 look attractive enough to present to Capitol viewers. The result of putting both of the Tributes in matching face-hiding helmets caused an immediate sensation!
Though District 7 is well known for wearing tree-like costumes for the Parade, sometimes something simpler can mean so much. This year's female tribute was so tiny that in her home District, she was named after a leaf sprite of local lore who turned a napping woodsman into her eternal companion, lighting the forest with tiny lanterns so workers would never get lost amongst the trees.
Life in the Districts
Various images of everyday life in the Districts during the Games
"Mandatory Viewing" a new, reasonably functional monitor was provided by the Capitol to this fortunate family from District 7 so they could watch their Tribute in the 46th Hunger Games.
Visit the Arenas!
After Games have ended, many Capitol citizens like to tour various Arenas and reenact their favorite moments.
 |
| The Original Arena from The Hunger Games was destroyed following year 10. A questionably accurate Arena was recreated decades later and remains one of the most popular Arenas for Capitol visitors due to it's small size and close proximity to the main city. |
Noteable Citzens
 |
| It is said that the stare of an Avox can reap your soul. |
 |
| The citizens of District 8 are permitted to use fabric scraps that would have otherwise been discarded to make their own clothing. |
 |
| The escort for District 8 ('56-'75), Bebe Canterbury is famous for her impossibly low voice, achieved by her addiction to inhaling sulfur hexafluoride. |
 |
| Pyx and "The Angels". Main stylist and prep team for District 3. Pyx only speaks in one-word sentences. Any more than that, she feels is a waste of time. |
 |
| The only full sentence she ever utters is, "I'm not allowed to bet, but if I could, I'd put all my money on you." This is a phrase all stylists are required to say, in full, to their tribute while in the launch room under penalty of law. |
