Passport to the World New Year’s Eve Party
Ring in the New Year at another huge Washington, DC New Year’s Eve party – the Passport to the World Gala – Cities of Virtue and Vice, hosted by Professionals in the City.
With multiple city/national themes, including London, Austria, Mexico City, Rio, San Juan, and even Amsterdam’s Red Light District (no, not what you might be thinking… actually it’s an R-rated comedy show), this New Year’s Eve party, complete with with 3,000 guests, features all kinds of fun music and activities, including:
- Open Bar and Buffet
- Nine Themed Party Areas
- Multiple Dance Floors , including DC’s Largest Ballroom
- Midnight Balloon Drop
- Live Orchestra, Swing Band, Salsa Band and Mariachis, plus DJs
- Salsa, Meringue, Ballroom and Swing Dance Lessons
- Late Night Comedy Show
- Caricaturists
- Karaoke
And if you are attending the party without a date, there’s also four minute dating sessions for singles. Plus, and here’s a great idea — to identify your relationship status, guests wear different colored bracelets, one color for single people, a different color for couples.
I wonder how many people will start the night wearing a “couples” colored bracelet and ring in the New Year wearing a “single” bracelet, and visa versa.
