District Social Elevates The Winter Solstice Affair With an Unforgettable Signature Gala Experience
District Social reaffirmed its position as one of Washington’s leading event staffing and event management agencies with the return of its annual Winter Solstice Affair, held on December 5, 2025 at the National Housing Center. Known for producing polished, guest-focused experiences year after year, District Social once again delivered a seamless and memorable gala that highlighted the agency’s professional expertise and signature style.
This year’s Winter Solstice Affair featured a special collaborative partnership with DC Fashion Week. In a creative exchange of roles, DC Fashion Week presented an exclusive runway showcase under the direction of Ean Williams, while District Social oversaw and produced the full gala experience. The combination of District Social’s event execution and DC Fashion Week’s artistic presentation created a dynamic evening that resonated with guests throughout the night.
From the moment attendees arrived, they were welcomed into a warm, thoughtfully designed environment that embodied the spirit of The Winter Solstice Affair. Engaging conversation, intentional décor, and vibrant social energy filled the space—fueled in part by an incredible musical lineup from DJ Premonition (IG: @djpremonition) and DJ Ease (IG: @djease202), whose sets kept the energy high and the crowd engaged throughout the evening.
As an agency trusted across the region for its event staffing and management capabilities, District Social continues to deliver excellence for both its own annual events and its clients. Next Saturday, the team will bring that same high-level curation to Shawn Yancy’s Girl’s Night Out, where District Social will helm the VIP Lounge. And looking ahead to the upcoming DC Fashion Week, the partnership returns to its usual format: DC Fashion Week leads the main production, while District Social will design and staff the VIP Lounge experience.

As the night closed with lingering conversations and flashes from the final photographs, one thing remained clear: The Winter Solstice Affair continues to stand as a signature annual highlight for District Social, a testament to their commitment to producing events that leave a lasting impression.
With each successful year, anticipation only grows. The next District Social experience is already on the horizon—and it’s one guests won’t want to miss.
