Thanks to a rotating cast of crafters and vendors, hot coffee and sweets and holiday performances, the DC Downtown Holiday Marketplace is a magical marketplace worth multiple trips. Located at 8th and F Streets NW near the Verizon Center, the market holds down the area in front of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery.
At night, its bright lights bring Penn Quarter to life, providing a holiday spark to the neighborhood. But don’t worry, you can shop during the day too: The Market is open daily 12 – 8 p.m. from November 25 to December 23.
