Running for 47 years, Adams Morgan Day is DC's longest-running neighborhood festival — an all-volunteer celebration held each September in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Expect live music across multiple stages (Jubilee, Reggae, Dance Plaza), an Artisan Stroll featuring local craftspeople, jewelry makers, and handmade goods, children's activities, and performances ranging from contemporary jazz to Go-Go and reggae. The festival draws residents and visitors looking to connect with neighborhood businesses, artists, and community organizations.

The DC Holiday Market runs on the 1500 block of New Hampshire Avenue NW, just north of Dupont Circle, from Thursday, November 12 through Wednesday, December 23, 2026. Produced by Diverse Markets Management, it features more than 35 small businesses selling artisan goods, boutique brands, handcrafted products, and holiday gifts. The season runs 40 days including six weekends, closing only on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, and Monday, November 30. Hours are noon to 8 PM weekdays and 11 AM to 8 PM Saturdays and Sundays. This is a long-run commitment rather than a weekend show — 40 consecutive selling days at eight hours a day requires deep inventory, staffing, and a booth setup built for daily operation through late-fall weather. Note: Exhibitors may apply for a First Half, Second Half, or Full Show placement—Full Show fee is listed below (and, no, it's not a misprint).

DC's historic public market (152 yrs). Hundreds of local artists and crafters set up around the market each weekend - painters, sculptors, woodworkers, jewelers, potters, photographers - alongside farmers and food. Separate application tracks for Artists & Crafters, Farmers, Producers, Prepared Foods, Vintage/Antiques/Collectibles, Livestock, and Fair-Trade importers. Note: This market does not accept craft vendors whose products require production with technical machines (3D printers, Cricut, laser etchers, etc). Manufactured products, even if you are the designer, are also not permitted.

The Petworth Community Market has been community-run since 2010, hosting roughly 20 to 25 vendors weekly — regional farms, bakers, coffee roasters, and local artisans selling produce, baked goods, gourmet items, and handmade products. It sits on the 9th and Upshur commercial corridor in Petworth, drawing from a dense neighborhood of about 19,000 residents skewing toward young professionals, families, and pet owners. At 20–25 vendors, this is a small, neighborhood-scale market — steady regular customers rather than destination traffic, which favors vendors building repeat relationships over one-time impulse sales. Fees: Seasonal vendors pay a percentage of sales. Pop-up Vendors pay $50 per day.
