Photos: House of Sweden After Dark Party

Revelers at the House of Sweden party check out art.
Washingtonians took over the Swedish Embassy on Friday night for the second House of Sweden After Dark party. Organizers hoped to recreate the energy of February's inaugural soiree, which was deemed a smashing success, but without inciting a similar mob scene. This time, they raised the ticket price to $20 and nixed the open bar.
People trickled in slowly at first, but by 10:30, the sold-out party had turned in to a breathing-room only affair. Swarms of cocktail-attired twentysomethings took to the dance floors inside and on the VIP-only roof deck. DJs spun tracks from 9 until midnight. The two cash bars and plates of tasty Swedish bites kept the crowd energized.

Hundreds of women and a ’60s theme? This year’s Knock Out gala was the place for sequins, bouffants, and lots of Dolman sleeves.
