Carnival at Swingers Dupont Circle offers private event space, entertainment, and flexibility that is ideal for families who want a cool, curated bar or bat mitzvah without building everything from scratch.
If you’re planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Washington, D.C. and want a space that feels fun, stylish, and functional, Swingers Carnival might be exactly what you’re looking for. This venue blends immersive entertainment, vibrant design, and flexible private event spaces in a way that feels both elevated and easy to host.
The venue offers an immersive, design-driven environment that balances form and function, inviting celebration without requiring reinvention. This is a venue for families who want something personal, guest-friendly, and memorable, without needing to start from zero or take on a massive production.
Private Event Spaces That Make Hosting Feel Effortless
While Swingers is typically a 21+ venue during public hours, the Carnival location in Dupont Circle offers immersive games, a flexible layout, and private areas that create a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environment for teens and families when booked exclusively for your event. This is such an added benefit if you are looking for a venue that not everyone has been to before. One of the standout features of Swingers Carnival is the upstairs private event suite, which gives your family dedicated space for important moments like the Hamotzi, toasts, and dinner. With room to transition between formalities and fun, the space creates a natural rhythm to the night.
Still on the main floor, but just outside, the terrace, gives adults a place to relax, enjoy cocktails, and socialize without missing all of the fun. It’s a layout that works beautifully for both guests and hosts.
Built-In Entertainment Without Needing a Dance Party
Not every mitzvah guest wants to be on the dance floor all night, and some honorees don’t either. If your teen is looking for something different, Swingers Carnival offers built-in entertainment that keeps the energy high without relying on a DJ and motivators to keep the party going.
From mini golf and carnival games to retro-style arcade attractions, the venue is fully equipped to keep guests engaged, active, and entertained throughout the event. When hosted upstairs, the private event space gives you room for structured programming. Although, most of the entertainment is provided, the space still benefits from intentional styling and layout planning. With the right creative direction, it transforms into a space that feels both personalized and connected to the energy of the venue.
This makes Swingers an especially strong choice for non-dance-party mitzvahs, or for families who want a celebration that feels active, social, personalized, without trying to force a traditional party format.
A Space That Supports Bold, Thoughtful Design
As a bar/bat mitzvah planner, we love when a venue gives us something to work with. At Swingers, the bold colors, immersive decor, and layered spaces provide a dynamic base. From there, we help families add intentional touches, custom branding, curated menus, specialty entertainment, and thoughtful guest experiences that make the event feel truly theirs.
Whether your vision is modern and minimal or vibrant and editorial, Swingers gives us the flexibility to build a celebration that fits your family’s style, your child’s personality, and your priorities.
