What are you getting for the loved ones on your list this holiday season? If you’re not totally sure, make a visit to the 17th Annual Downtown Holiday Market! This lovely outdoor shopping village is spreading holiday cheer on 8th & F streets, just moments from your apartment in DC. It’s happening now through December 23rd from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The best part about shopping this special local market is that you’ll be supporting D.C.-area entrepreneurs and artisans who are selling their creations! If you want a little sneak peek of what kind of gems you may find, you can browse the full list of exhibitors online. 

You’re inevitably going to work up an appetite while wandering the vendor booths, so don’t wait to stop at one of the food stalls. Shopping hangry is no fun! Alexa’s Empanadas will be serving up sweet and savory empanadas and churros, you’ll find specialty foods and international holiday treats from The Taste of Germany, jerk chicken and curry goat from ITtropical, savory smoked BBQ from Old Blue BBQ, and of course, tasty sweets from The Capital Candy Jar and Migue’s Mini Donuts! Indulge and support local artisans, all while getting in the spirit of the season.
