75th Annual Tartan Ball

Join us on Saturday, November 15th 2025 at the famous National Press Club for the 75th Annual Tartan Ball, a formal celebration of Scottish-American heritage and traditions.

The tradition of our annual Tartan Ball began in 1938, and is one of the Saint Andrew’s Society’s longest-running and most enduring annual celebrations.  This enduring fixture in the social calendar of our nation’s capital brings together both members and the wider Washington D.C. area Scottish-American community in a formal celebration of camaraderie and our shared heritage and traditions. Most importantly, the silent auction provides approximately $20,000 to support the Washington Scots Charity & Education Fund.
