District Social Elevates The Winter Solstice Affair With an Unforgettable Signature Gala Experience
District Social once again demonstrated why it stands at the forefront of Washington’s event management and creative production scene—this time delivering its own signature gala, The Winter Solstice Affair, held on December 5, 2025 at the National Housing Center.
In a unique role reversal for this event, the evening’s fashion showcase was produced by DC Fashion Week under the creative direction of Ean Williams, while District Social helmed the overall gala experience. The result was a seamless fusion of artistry, ambiance, and elevated social energy—an impeccable reflection of District Social’s standard of excellence.
From the moment guests arrived, they stepped into a beautifully curated atmosphere that instantly became the heartbeat of the evening. Warm lighting, intentional design, lively conversation, and nonstop photo moments created a gala environment that guests naturally gravitated toward—both before the showcase and long after the final look took the stage.
District Social is widely recognized for crafting standout VIP Lounge experiences for its clients, and this gala served as a testament to its broader production capabilities. That expertise will be spotlighted again next Saturday at Shawn Yancy’s Girl’s Night Out, where District Social will curate the VIP Lounge. And for the upcoming DC Fashion Week, the roles return to their usual format—Ean Williams will present the main event, while District Social will once again design and curate the VIP Lounge experience.

Special recognition goes to Ean Williams and the DC Fashion Week team, whose exclusive Winter Solstice showcase brought artistry, movement, and fashion-forward storytelling to the gala stage.

If The Winter Solstice Affair is any indication, the momentum is only building. The next District Social experience is one you won’t want to miss.
