The holiday market is a perfect complement to the stores and restaurants around Dupont Circle.”

The market brings its signature style, local performers, bright festive décor, and popular holiday treats – Migue’s Mini Donuts and the Capital Candy Jar’s hot roasted nuts to an iconic location adjacent to Dupont Circle and renowned Kramer’s Books & Café.
“We are so excited to partner with Diverse Markets Management,” said Jason Goldman, Marketing and Events Manager for the Dupont Circle BID. “The Downtown Holiday Market has such a strong brand that we are happy to have them with their world-class vendors expand our holiday celebration!”
