Romancers. In case you haven’t seen all my craaaaaaazy social media posting about it, I am THRILLED to announce here that I am participating in PARCEL Market at Canal Park this Saturday!! What is PARCEL Market at Canal Park you might ask? Well let me tell you:
PARCEL Market at Canal Park, presented by the Capitol Riverfront BID, is an engaging & urban outdoor holiday market featuring a 10,000 squareÂfoot ice rink, interactive art installations,a cozy food pavilion warmed by fire pits, live & local music performances, DIY creative workshops, and a styled festival tent showcasing a thoughtfully curated list of talented local designers, artists, chefs, and food artisans. With PARCEL, we strive to elevate and urbanize the concept of a holiday market event. By incorporating handmade, modern styling and showcasing emerging and independent brands, retailers, food producers, chefs, and local musical talents, PARCEL will create an overall festive and unparalleled experience for marketÂgoers of all ages.
PARCEL Market will be located at the contemporary Canal Park, a 2 minute walk from the Navy Yard Metro’s New Jersey Avenue exit at 200 M Street SE, Washington, DC and will operate THIS WEEKEND ONLY: Saturday, December 5th and Sunday, December 6th, 12PM -6PM.
PARCEL is going to be JAM PACKED with awesome retail & food vendors and a whole area dedicated to DIY Workshops run by yours truly & a handful of other super rad local DC vendors. The workshops were announced a few weeks back, and almost all reservations were filled up within 45 minutes!! But if you still want to attend one, head to PARCEL and sign up in person, the morning of the workshop. More details can be found here:Â http://www.parcelmarketdc.com/workshops/
