Yes we can!

Yes we can and yes we did! The week of inauguration was an exciting time for everyone in Washington, DC. Gala Events was thrilled to be a part of things. We haven’t seen this level of excitement in the DC Metro area EVER! The streets were packed and positive energy was radiating throughout the city. The Gala team came together and worked on everything from red, white and blue bunting around parade route, to designing the most exciting after party in town at Posh Supper Club.
Getting everything downtown was certainly a challenge, especially with all of the roads being closed. However, this didn’t hold us back for long! Our design team even went to the extreme of riding in the back of a truck to ensure that everything made it to its right place!


YES WE DID-A few of our favorite things witnessed during the inaugural weekend:
1. 9 Events in four nights
2. Unprecedented security, droves of people and port-a-potties
3. Unbearably low temperatures
4. Rodeo Drive meets Pennsylvania Avenue- Hollywood comes to DC
5. Exit only metro stations
6. The line around the block at Ben’s Chili bowl
7. All bars staying open till 4am
8. Not a single arrest!
9. Motorcades, movie stars, and military presence- oh my!
10. Bunting, Bling, and Biden
11. The creation of our very own star spangled banner
