Like a fine wine, the Dupont Artisan Market continues to showcase high-quality artisan shows, which you can see in real time on our Instagram with the hashtag #ArtRaveDC. We are entering the final stretch of the year from September to December, starting with our next event this Saturday, September 5th, and followed by September 12th, the very popular Art All Night, which typically attracts over 4,000 shoppers.
We are excited to welcome four new artisans, including a talented fine artist, a fragrance maker, and an artisan specializing in honey and tea, alongside all our other artisans from various disciplines. We also have entertainment covered with our in-house band, which performs fantastic music and features artists who also showcase and sell their unique works of art.

“On Saturday, March 15, 2025, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon and 5K will take place in the District of Columbia. In conjunction with this event, there will be parking restrictions and street closures that motorists should take into consideration.
When safe to do so, the Metropolitan Police Department will assist motorists in crossing the race route to help relieve traffic congestion due to the extended closures. However, motorists should not rely on crossing the route and should plan on going around the traffic closures.
The following streets will be posted as Emergency No Parking from 6:00 p.m. on Friday, March 14, 2025, to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, 2025: (more…)
