The Parks Holiday Market & Celebration
November 16 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
FreeCelebrate the holidays with friends and neighbors on the Marketplace Plaza with our popular Holiday Market & Celebration. A complete list of amazing local vendors will be announced soon, and the event is early enough to kick off your holiday shopping.
We continue to partner with Housing Up on their holiday gift drive, which seeks to provide gifts to nearly 1,500 children in their permanent supportive housing program. Bring a gift from their wish list to the event (or make a donation), and we’ll have a wrapping station there where you can help beautify these gifts for children around the city.
The Parks is also thrilled to host Carpe Librum’s popup book sale during the Holiday Market, with proceeds going to Turning the Page, a literacy nonprofit that engages public school families for student success; collecting and selling donated used books is one way they raise capital for their programs and has been working with DC families since 1998, providing family engagement and literacy development programming.
