## About

The open-air DC Holiday Market sets up on a closed stretch of New Hampshire Avenue NW between Q Street and Dupont Circle for six weeks before Christmas. More than 35 small businesses sell artisan goods, handcrafted products, boutique brands and holiday gifts under festive décor, along with food vendors. For families it is an easy walk from the Dupont Circle Metro and a good place for children to pick out small gifts or simply look at the stalls; there are no dedicated children's activities announced. The market is closed on Thanksgiving Day (Nov 26) and Monday Nov 30.
