The end of another fantastic season is just around the corner! Our last show was a testament to our resilience; despite the government shutdown that affected hundreds of thousands of workers, ArtRave, with its 18-year history, still produced a memorable event last Saturday. In fact, it was so well-attended that we had to extend our hours by an hour, staying open until 6 PM!

For this Saturday’s show on November 8th, we are excited to feature even more talented artisans. This includes a quilt maker, several fashion designers, two skilled gemstone artisans, and a variety of gourmet vendors, such as a honey maker, a coffee artisan, and two bakeries, among others. In short, we have all the ingredients for another phenomenal event!


Step into a night that breaks the routine: an evening where wine becomes celebration and the moment becomes memory.

Discover the story of Beaujolais Nouveau, the young, fresh, fruit-forward wine released each year to honor the harvest, transformed into a global sensation thanks to Georges Duboeuf. It may not be the most complex wine, but it is the most anticipated: the wine of celebration, joy, and tradition.

This exceptional evening blends the stirring artistry of The Washington Tattoo and the refined voices of the Washington Opera Society into a spectacular, sophisticated celebration. Far from your everyday holiday concert, the performance will showcase beloved seasonal classics alongside a heartfelt salute to our Armed Forces, culminating in a festive sing-along. Join us for an unforgettable evening where elegance, music, and patriotism intertwine beautifully to inspire your holiday spirit.
