What’s on tap and when at the Van Ness Holiday Pop-UP Shop this weekend

December 11, 2019 by FHC Leave a Comment

You’ll know it by the snowflakes in the windows. And the flurry of activity at 4340 Connecticut Avenue.

Van Ness Main Street has transformed its storefront for what it says will be a “fabulous holiday shopping experience.” The 4th annual Van Ness Holiday Pop-UP Shop is this weekend, starting with an evening of shopping Friday, December 13th.

Our previous piece on the pop-up included a list of and links to participating Made-in-DC artisans, and Van Ness Main Street has been highlighting participating artisans’ works on Facebook.
