The Friendship Heights Holiday Makers Market returned on November 4, 2023, bringing festive cheer and a vibrant selection of local handmade goods to Wisconsin Avenue. From 11 AM to 3 PM, the 5200 block (between Jenifer and Garrison Streets NW, from Booeymonger’s to Rodman’s) transformed into a bustling outdoor marketplace perfect for getting a head start on holiday shopping—or treating yourself!
Shoppers browsed unique gifts, enjoyed the neighborhood atmosphere, and connected with local makers. The event was free, family-friendly, and even welcomed friendly dogs. Thank you to everyone who joined us and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on upcoming Makers Markets!
