Share your Downtown Holiday Market experience!

Despite the challenges created by the global pandemic in 2020, the Downtown Holiday Market was able to successfully operate the special shopping event in Downtown DC. In order to hold our 16th year of the market, many changes were made to the operations and configuration of the market including relocating to F ST NW, in order to create a safe and spacious experience for visitors, exhibitors, and staff. While we expect to maintain this layout and many of the new enhancements as a way to increase the immersive holiday spirit and amenities, we look to our participants for feedback regarding how well these changes worked. 

Diverse Markets Management, along with our co-producer Downtown DC BID, is dedicated to creating a fruitful space for exhibitors to grow their small businesses and customer base, as well as providing a destination and exciting public space for the community and visitors to Downtown DC.
