The Downtown DC Holiday Market, a staple since 2005, will see a change in management this year, which has led to a divided seasonal market in the city.
The changes in market management stemmed from concerns over a declining quality and a lack of new vendors, prompting the BID to seek external organizers for 2024.
With the decision to create two separate holiday markets in DC, the hope is to enhance diversity and opportunities for local artisans and small businesses, which have been limited.
Concerns from vendors about rising rent prices underscore the economic challenges of participating in these holiday markets, highlighting tensions within the artisanal community.
