As a new year begins, we’re bringing the Carolina coast to the nation’s capital to welcome North Carolina’s congressional delegation to Washington.
Think Outer Banks scenery in the middle of a DC winter. North Carolina’s own beach music legends, The Embers, will take the stage, so bring your dancing shoes and your best shag. You’ll spend the evening with fellow North Carolinians and friends of the Tar Heel State from across Washington’s business, political, and civic communities. The Beach Ball is the more relaxed counterpart to our quadrennial Inaugural Ball, so come in black tie or your best cocktail attire.
