Adams Morgan Holiday Market is this Weekend


18th and Columbia Road, NW

From an email:

“The same volunteer crew that brings you Adams Morgan Day each September will host the Adams Morgan Holiday Market, a pop-up style market from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 8 and 9, on SunTrust plaza and at Unity Park, near 18thStreet and Columbia Road NW. The holiday market will feature more than 50 local, high-quality arts and crafts vendors from across DC with unique gift items, jewelry, pottery, paintings and textiles.

While folks are shopping they’ll enjoy lively seasonal entertainment and, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Dec. 8th, can help decorate the Festivus kiosk at 18thand Columbia. Carolers will sing during the market and, on Sunday Dec. 9, the District Music Project will perform a 20-minute holiday program three times on the front steps of the Line Hotel at 2:30 p.m., 3:15 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.


1st Festivus Celebration in Adams Morgan, December 2008

Adams Morgan farmers market vendors will be on SunTrust Plaza the morning of Saturday, December 8 until 1:00 p.m. They will sell produce, seasonal baked items and (mostly pre-ordered) trees and wreaths. Some area restaurants will offer holiday themed items on their menus.

Neighbors are encouraged to come help decorate the Festivus kiosk at 18thSt. and Columbia Rd. NW when the market begins on Saturday, Dec. 8th.

All are welcome and entry is free. Celebrate the spirit of the season at the Adams Morgan Holiday Market with neighbors, family and friends.

This market will give folks a second chance to shop with vendors who came out in the rain on Adams Morgan Day, and bring the community together to share the historic neighborhood’s spirit and commitment to local artists with others at the holiday season.”
