National Building Museum's 25th Anniversary Bash

Words: Dan KamysA silver anniversary is worth celebrating in a silver way!

The National Building Museum's (NBM) 25th Anniversary Bash, set for Saturday, Oct. 29, is arguably the best upcoming party of the year. Come socialize around the fountain, try your luck at our luxury raffle, indulge in neon cocktails and gourmet munchies, enjoy live entertainment, and bid on one-of-a-kind items at the unique silver-themed auction.

Let's not forget the chance to mingle with the most well-known members of the design, architecture and building arts world, as well as several surprise celebrities — all in the museum's historic Great Hall.

You can guiltlessly celebrate from the cocktails at 8 p.m. until the fireworks at midnight knowing that your ticket contributions support the museum's exhibitions and education programs — a step in ensuring the museum's success for the next 25 years. Tickets can be bought individually or at varying levels and are available online or by calling the museum at (202) 272-2448. Individual tickets start at $75 for members, $95 for non-members. Reserved tables, access to private lounges, a listing in event materials, and special parting gifts are included at certain sponsorship levels.
