Your guide to the best holiday markets around D.C.
Holiday markets are popping up around the DMV. Why it matters: These aren't just shopping stops — they're full-on festive scenes with live music, local makers, hot drinks and cheer you won't find browsing online. Good to know: Many markets require tickets — and some sell out fast or offer early-bird deals — so book ahead. What's new: The Downtown DC Holiday Market (Nov. 21-Dec.23) is bigger than ever. Look for: Over 115 vendors, including 20 newcomers and local artisans. More than a dozen food stalls, including from Carmine's and Daikaya (try their new cheesesteaks) — plus Dirty Habit's "winter chalet" bar. A "Craft Café" with workshops for kids and adults, plus live entertainment. Browse local artists and vendors. Photo: Courtesy Events DC More markets you won't want to miss: Lucketts Holiday House (now through Dec. 14) Set in a century-old Leesburg farmhouse decked out in full holiday decor. Shop vintage and holiday finds, then sip wine by a crackling fire. 🎟️ Tickets ($29) required. DC Holiday Market at Dupont Circle (now through Dec. 23) A newer market with 35+ small businesses selling crafts, jewelry and art — plus sweets from Migue's Mini Donuts and Capital Candy Jar.

Closing the gap between addiction help and treatment access in Virginia
The decision to seek addiction treatment can come after weeks or months of uncertainty. A family member may finally recognize the need for professional support, or someone experiencing substance use difficulties may decide independently that it’s time to ask for help.
