Annual Alumni Holiday Party


Join us for our Annual Holiday Party, an unforgettable evening within the historic National Portrait Gallery. Surrounded by timeless architecture, you’ll step into a festive atmosphere where tradition meets modern holiday cheer.

Begin your night with a stroll through the Downtown DC Holiday Market, located right outside the Gallery’s F street entrance. This twinkling, open-air market is a great way to soak in some holiday magic before heading into the party.

Indulge in a spread of seasonal culinary delights and delicious sweet treats and don’t miss our two signature holiday cocktails, in addition to a beer and wine open bar.

Your registration includes all food, beverages, live DJ and entertainment, so come ready to celebrate, connect, and create memories with your fellow Terps!
