The Bark Ball is an established Washington tradition. The formal soirée includes a renowned silent auction, a seated dinner, and live entertainment – with a unique twist that makes this a one-of-a-kind event. Guests are encouraged to bring a canine’s as their date!

As Washington's only formal evening for the “four-on-the-floor” crowd, the Bark Ball attracts some of the area’s most prominent canines and their friends. The guest list has included such luminaries as Art Buchwald, Chris Buckley, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Arch Campbell, Willard Scott, Loretta Swit, Mary Matalin and James Carville.

Washington’s political pet set--Socks Clinton, Millie Bush, Leader Dole, and most recently “First Canines” Spot and Barney Bush --have all served as Honorary Pet Chairs.

Past sponsors include Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group; American Airlines; Sun Trust Bank; the Fannie Mae Foundation; America Online; Riggs National Bank; Ralston Purina; Pfizer; The Washington Post; Booz Allen & Hamilton; Ernst & Young, Swissair and many more.

Tickets: $250
