From a press release:

“This year’s DC Holiday Market returns with a new name and a new location. Diverse Markets Management in partnership with The Dupont Circle Business Improvement District (BID) will once again host the most successful holiday market in Washington DC – changing its name from “Downtown” to “DC Holiday Market” – and in a new location, the historic Dupont Circle. Located at the 1500 block of 19th Street, NW, the DC Holiday Market will open Friday, November 22, 2024 and run through Sunday, December 15, 2024. This year, visitors can enjoy a new line up of entertainment, unique exhibitors, sweet treats and festive decor and lights throughout the season.

“We are glad to be reopening for the holidays in Dupont Circle,” says Michael Berman, President of Diverse Markets Management. “Dupont Circle has a tradition of small businesses, including art galleries and mom & pop shops. The holiday market is a perfect complement to the stores and restaurants around Dupont Circle.”

The DC Holiday Market will feature 30 plus small businesses with artisans, boutique brands, worldwide handcrafts and unique gift items. The market brings its signature style, local performers, bright festive décor, and popular holiday treats – Migue’s Mini Donuts and the Capital Candy Jar’s hot roasted nuts to an iconic location adjacent to Dupont Circle and renowned Kramer’s Books & Café.

“We are so excited to partner with Diverse Markets Management,” said Jason Goldman, Marketing and Events Manager for the Dupont Circle BID. “The Downtown Holiday Market has such a strong brand that we are happy to have them with their world-class vendors expand our holiday celebration!”

Conveniently located just one block from Dupont Circle metro, The DC Holiday Market will be open every day, from 12 p.m. until 8 p.m. on weekdays, and from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays with the exception of being closed on Thanksgiving Day.
