The plan
Browse local makers, pick up a small gift and make a downtown afternoon of seasonal food and market stalls.
The experience
DowntownDC Holiday Market brings more than 120 vendors to F Street NW between 7th and 9th streets. Browse with a gift in mind or simply enjoy seeing what different makers have brought. The market works well as a flexible stop rather than a reservation-heavy outing.
Plan your visit
The season is November 13–December 23, closed on Thanksgiving. Hours are Monday–Thursday noon–8pm, Friday–Saturday 11am–9pm and Sunday 11am–8pm. Friday and Saturday give you the longest evening window.
Tickets and useful details
Entry is free and purchases are extra. Gallery Place is the nearby Metro station, useful if you want to avoid building the outing around parking. Leave room to browse before buying and decide what you want to spend on food or gifts.
