Join us for our 106th Mid-Winter Dinner, presented by PNC Bank, and enjoy an evening of elegance and entertainment at the Washington National Cathedral!

This signature black-tie gathering features a three-course seated dinner and brings together more than 600 of the region’s most influential business, government, and civic leaders. As one of our most valued networking traditions, the Mid-Winter Dinner is a celebration of the relationships, collaboration, and shared commitment that strengthen Greater Washington’s business community.

During the reception, guests will enjoy a special performance by a brass quintet from the United States Marine Band. Known as “The President’s Own,” the Marine Band is the oldest continuously active professional music organization in the United States, established in 1798. This distinguished ensemble adds a timeless and distinctly patriotic note to an already exceptional evening at the Cathedral.
