Shopping and other things to do in the DMV
For many of you this is the last weekend to get out into those streets and shop until you drop.

Still looking for cool and interesting gifts for your loved ones, here are few places you should visit:
Holiday Markets to Visit
Truly there is no competition. The Victura Park Holiday Market (Fri-Sun, entry, , Kennedy Center) and the National Arboretum’s Procrastinator’s Holiday Market (Sat, entry, , Arboretum) are happening this weekend. There’s nothing like the views from the Potomac and you view the last fall foliage for the year; either way there isn’t a more scenic venue to do your holiday shopping.
Pop-Up Markets are literally Popping-Up Everywhere
Here are a few seasonal markets where you can finish your shopping at here in the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia).
DC- There’s literally like a pop-up every day! Visit the 6th annual holiday pop-up (Sun, entry is free, Van Ness). There’s also a Star Wars-themed Artists & Artisans Winter Vendor Village, (Sat, $20 entry, Lamond Riggs). Last but not least there’s a Holiday Market at The Ven (Sat-Sun, free entry, Dupont).
Virginia: Attention all dog owners/lovers, bring your dog to the Rosslyn’s Holiday Market (Fri-Sat, Free entry, Arlington) or maybe watch a movie at the Winter Bazaar at the Arlington Drafthouse (Sun, free entry, Arlington).
