The DC Fetish Ball is presented as one of the region’s largest recurring fetish nights—a fundraiser benefiting The Metro Underground (see dcfetishball.com and themetrounderground.com). Recent official copy positions the ball as a national-caliber evening with high production value across three levels at UltraBar — 911 F Street NW, Washington, DC.
Typical format (from the public site):
- Doors — often 9pm; 21+ only.
- Dress code — fetish-forward looks (leather, latex, PVC, corsetry, formal goth/steampunk/club chic, etc.); no jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, or sportswear. “Dress to impress.”
- Main ballroom — DJs, go-go dancers, featured fetish performance, regional fetish fashion show, and large-scale stage entertainment.
- Mezzanine — lounge with bottle service overlooking the main floor.
- Second level — social lounge and play space with dungeon equipment (Metro Events), variety/medical-style scene offerings, and dance areas (specific talent rotates annually).
- Third level (“Penthouse”) — additional play-forward zones (rope/fire/edge-style offerings have appeared on schedules), DJs, and dance energy late night.
- Tickets — presale via the official Tickets page; limited door tickets may be available; presales can guarantee entry if the venue hits capacity.
- Policies — consent, photography, and FetLife disclaimer pages are linked from the site.
Dates move yearly (recent editions have landed on October weekends, including references to Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend). Do not rely on placeholder calendar dates—always confirm the next ball date on dcfetishball.com. Contact RichardAD2000@gmail.com for organizer inquiries listed on the site.
