Cherry Blossom Festival Pink Tie Party

The Pink Tie Party, a signature event of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, will be held on March 13, 2026, at Union Station Washington D.C. This year’s style-forward theme invites guests to dress in their best pink and floral attire for the pink carpet entrance, engage in the design process, and celebrate creativity and community.

At the Pink Tie Party, guests will indulge in curated food and cocktails from top D.C.-area restaurants, enjoy live music, and be immersed in other unique experiences soon to be announced. There will also be a Benefit Auction where guests can bid on exclusive fashion & beauty items, one-of-a-kind D.C. packages, luxury hotels, top restaurants, travel experiences, wine and spirits. Funds raised from the Pink Tie Party support the National Cherry Blossom Festival’s mission to ensure that events remain generally free and open to the public.

“The Pink Tie Party is always one of the most exciting evenings on the D.C. social calendar, and this season’s Art of Fashion theme takes it to another level,” said Diana Mayhew, president and CEO of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. “This event truly captures the spirit of spring in Washington, and you’ll be able to feel it in the style, the atmosphere, the entertainment and the food. It sets the tone for an unforgettable Festival, which makes it a can’t-miss event.”
