About this Event

You are invited to step into the elegance of a bygone era and be part of a cherished tradition as the International Club of DC presents the Jane Austen Ball at the historic Dumbarton House in Georgetown. Join us within the storied walls of Georgetown's Dumbarton House for a night that promises the enchantment of Regency romance and the elegance of Austen's world with an enchanting evening of classical music, wine, dessert, and dance at one of Georgetown’s most magnificent mansions.

Explore the Grandeur of Dumbarton House with optional tours of the historic rooms of the Dumbarton House mansion, each telling a story from centuries past. Between dances, stroll through the manicured gardens under the stars, a perfect backdrop for an evening of refinement and Regency romance.

An evening of Austen, ambiance, and amusement, the Jane Austen Ball is a journey back in time and the chance to live out the pages of your favorite Austen novel. Secure your reservation now as space is limited, and our formal balls frequently sell out!

Enjoy a selection of desserts with wine and other drinks available for purchase at the cash bar.

A Partner or Prior Dance Experience Not Needed to Attend

You do not need a date or a dance partner to attend the ball so join us on your own or invite your friends to join us for a magical night from the pages of a Jane Austen novel! Even if you’ve never danced before, let us show you how to dance the waltz before the ball.
