## About

Every Saturday from November 7 through December 19, 2026, a holiday market sets up at National Harbor from noon to 7 p.m. Unlike a fixed, long-running Christmas market, the line-up of artisans and crafters rotates each week, so there is something new to browse on each visit, along with holiday sweets and seasonal treats. It is an easy add-on to a waterfront afternoon: the market runs on the same Saturdays as National Harbor's 5:30 p.m. holiday tree lighting with fireworks, and The Capital Wheel and the nightly tree light show are a short walk away.
