Announcement

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.


Event

Music. Art. Food. Community. The Takoma Park Folk Festival brings it all together for one free, unforgettable day. Discover six stages of live music from around the world, shop an acclaimed juried craft show, enjoy international cuisine, connect with local community organizations, and let the kids explore crafts and activities in the Children's Nook. It's one of the region's most beloved traditions, and a celebration of the creativity, diversity, and welcoming spirit that has long defined Takoma Park.

New this year! Jam at the Crossroads is a place for musicians of all levels to come together and be part of the music.

I lost two paintings that I got in Haiti—artworks that hold deep sentimental and cultural value to me. Despite my best efforts, their whereabouts remain unknown. I’m hopeful that the community might help recover these cherished pieces.
