A quintessential DC holiday tradition, The Nutcracker Tea Party is filled with family fun and seasonal merriment.
Sunday, December 8, 2024 at The Waldorf Astoria
This year’s Nutcracker Tea Party will highlight one of the joys of Washington, DC; our beautiful cherry blossoms. Inspired by The Nutcracker’s Waltz of the Cherry Blossoms, join us for a magical event, with delicious food, family fun activities, and the chance to meet some of your favorite Nutcracker characters.
The Nutcracker Tea Party also includes tickets to your choice of the 1:00 pm matinee or 5:30 pm evening performance of the season’s most anticipated performance of The Nutcracker at the Warner Theatre.
Proceeds from The Nutcracker Tea Party support the education and community engagement programs of The Washington School of Ballet, the premier ballet school in the nation’s capital.
The Washington Ballet dedicates more than $1.4 million annually to outreach and education programs. Funds raised from the event allow TWSB to award over $300,000 annually in merit and need-based scholarships to students across all campuses.
