Downtown Holiday Mart – Apply Now

I know it seems ludicrous especially as you’re probably dangling your tootsies into a pool or have outside plans to this weekend, but really, the holidays are just around the corner. Craft stores are already decked out in their Halloween finest which means that it’s time to start thinking of Holiday shows.

One of the bigger, local shows is the Downtown Holiday Mart brought to you by the Diverse Market folks who put on Arts on Foot and Eastern Market.

The Downtown Holiday Market (DHM) will operate for nearly three weeks. It will open Friday, December 4th, and will run continuously for a total of 20 days, ending Tuesday, December 23rd. Hours will be from 11:30am-8pm each day.

Held in the vibrant Penn Quarter neighborhood with the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture as its backdrop, the festival will again be located on the wide sidewalk of F Street, stretching from 7th to 9th Streets NW. Both ends of the market are within view of entrances to the Gallery Place Metro.

It’s a very pretty, festive show. It’s cold on the street, so bundle up but it all just adds to the holiday atmosphere.
