About this adventure

Located on a closed block of historic New Hampshire Avenue NW just off Dupont Circle, the DC Holiday Market brings neighborhood festive charm and boutique artisan shopping to one of the capital's most vibrant historic districts. Over 30 regional crafters and small business merchants present handmade ceramics, organic baby clothing, artisanal chocolates, holiday candles, and handmade jewelry under sparkling canopy lights. The market features daily live buskers, folk musicians, and carolers creating a merry neighborhood ambiance. Children can enjoy freshly baked seasonal gingerbread treats and gourmet hot chocolate while parents browse curated handmade gifts. Set on a completely level, vehicle-free street, it is exceptionally stroller-friendly with effortless access via the Dupont Circle Metro station (Red Line) just steps away. Afterwards, families can take a holiday stroll around the historic Dupont Circle fountain.
