RSVPing only on the Meetup page, doesn't allow you to attend the Event. ABOUT THE EVENT Almost 632 years ago, in 1393; Charles VI of France held the first masquerade gala in the world. Since then the Masquerade Gala began as part of Europe’s carnival season. Less high society and more cirque du célébration, villagers would gather in masks and costumes to take part in elaborate pageants and glamorous processions. Quickly spreading across France like wildfire, some of the most notorious balls of the day would be held to celebrate Royal Entries: the grand occasion of welcoming kings and queens into their cities. LET US WELCOME OUR KINGS AND QUEENS TO LA VIE! What better way to welcome 2026 than with an ALL-INCLUSIVE party in the stunning elegance of La Vie? The resplendent grandeur, one of most dramatic spaces at The Wharf! Join us for an enchanting New Year’s Eve filled with breathtaking views, lively entertainment, dancing, and midnight surprises. Be prepared to be awe-inspired as you revel in the decadence and splendor of the night. The stage is set for a timelessly magical New Year’s Eve experience like never seen before in DC. ***DRESS CODE :*** We expect gentlemen to range from creative black tie to tuxedo, while ladies range from stylish cocktail attire to flax dresses and gowns.

**Join Us for New Year Fun with the VSDC Vegan Children’s Playgroup!** Bring the whole family to welcome 2026 with an afternoon of creativity, connection, and fun. For this year's event, we’re excited to team up with Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) as we celebrate the New Year with crafts, games, vegan-themed books, and delicious vegan refreshments. While the event and the VSDC Children's Playgroup is all-vegan, our meetup welcomes veg (or veg-curious) kids under the age of 10 to be accompanied by at least one parent or caregiver. The vision for this playgroup is to build community for veg kids to help instill more confidence in their lifestyle choices and provide a strong sense of belonging while also having fun. We also seek to provide support for parents/caretakers by sharing helpful tips, resources, and inspiration for vegan families. **VSDC: More Than A Meetup** We are so glad to have you as part of The Veg Society of DC Vegan Meetup group, and we enjoy seeing you at our events. Did you know that [VSDC](http://vsdc.org/) is a nonprofit organization with membership benefits? With VSDC membership, you will save money at area restaurants and businesses, attend VSDC member-only events, and, most importantly, support us as a clear and consistent voice for improving the lives of all beings through community building and education centered on the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle.
