A little glamour.
A lot of good.
Dress up. Step out. Give back.
One unforgettable evening on the historic Georgetown Square.
The Square is
your ballroom.
What began in 2017 as a night out with friends has become a Georgetown tradition. Ballgown Square Crawl, Inc. brings people together for an evening of dressing up, discovering local businesses, and giving back.
The celebration unfolds throughout the Georgetown Square. We begin at the courthouse at 5 PM for a big group photo, then explore participating shops, restaurants, and bars at our own pace—with exclusive perks for wristband holders along the way.
Shop. Dine. Sip. Explore. Give back.

Good times.
Meaningful impact.
Each year, the Ballgown Square Crawl supports a local charity. In 2026, funds raised through the event will support The Key2Free and its mission.
The Key2Free
The Key2Free is a Georgetown-based, faith-based nonprofit serving adult women who have experienced sex trafficking or sexual exploitation. Its work combines survivor aftercare with community education and awareness to help prevent trafficking.
Safety and healing. Through residential and nonresidential services, The Key2Free offers safe housing, therapeutic care, and individualized support. Survivors can access counseling, case management, and a supportive community as they work toward their own recovery goals.
Tools for independence. Life-skills classes, continuing education, and job-readiness support help women prepare for everyday life and build a more stable future. Care extends beyond immediate needs, supporting the steps toward lasting independence.
A more informed community. The organization also helps people understand trafficking and exploitation, raising awareness of the need for prevention and compassionate support close to home.
We’re proud to name The Key2Free as our 2026 beneficiary partner and introduce more of our community to this important local work.
Freedom. Hope. A way forward.
