Dear Members,
During this season of gratitude, DC has much to be thankful for. Between a stunning fall and gearing up for the holidays, events in the city span all genres and all neighborhoods. The newly revitalized Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden is now open to the public, and happens to be one place among many to catch breathtaking fall foliage. From shows to museums to Thanksgiving itself, washington.org can help you harvest the city’s autumn abundance.
To give you a jump on holiday shopping, the DowntownDC Holiday Market returns with some of DC’s brightest annual traditions – this year running nearly six weeks, from Nov. 13 through Dec. 23, with over 120 vendors (90% representing BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and woman-owned small businesses), food and live entertainment. The Washington Capitals and the Washington Wizards continue to bring the heat even as the weather cools. Audi Field hosts the National Women’s Soccer League Championship game Nov. 21, and the city is thrilled to see the Washington Spirit advance to the semifinals this weekend.
Whether visitors are traveling for arts and culture, green spaces or the Sports Capital, the District is ready to welcome everyone this season.
Kindly,
Elliott L. Ferguson, II
President & CEO
Destination DC
