The cherry blossoms are expected to be in peak bloom between March 22 -25 but why wait to enjoy these beauties? The annual Pink Tie Party is coming March 16th and is the perfect way to kick of the spring season. This gala is one of the many highlights to experience as part of Washington’s National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The reception-style event will take place at the Ronald Reagan Building and be hosted by emcee Guy Lambert. Guest donned in their finest pink attire will enjoy culinary creations by Chef Houman Gohary and the best bites of the DC area restaurant scene. Along with the sumptuous bites, there will be cocktails and mocktails along with an XR activation by ARTECHOUSE DC at the House of Suntory Bar. Additional surprises during the Pink Tie Party include a blossom runway presentation by the beautiful queens of Absolutely Dragulous.
Tickets for the event will be $225 and can be purchased here. All funds support the mission of Washington, DC’s iconic National Cherry Blossom Festival, ensuring Festival events remain primarily free and open to the public.
