The holiday season is upon us. Whether you’re looking for the perfect Hanukah present for Grandma, trying to decide what to get your boyfriend for Christmas or picking out a white elephant gift for the office holiday party, you want something unique and thoughtful.

Instead of subjecting yourself to shopping-mall stress or the efficient but unsatisfying experience of online shopping, why not try the Rosslyn Holiday Market? You’ll feel good knowing you bought your gifts from local, small-business owners, and you’re sure to find items that are distinctive and special.

This year, the market will be at Gateway Park for the first time. Decorated with festive holiday lighting, the park will be an outdoor winter wonderland for you to enjoy with your family and friends. Peruse the pop-up shops of local vendors. Time your visit over the two-day festival on December 10 and 11 to take advantage of your favorite activities. Here is the schedule:

Holiday Clothing Drive

In conjunction with the holiday market, the Rosslyn BID is conducting an annual holiday clothing drive. Donate new or gently used winter coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, hats, gloves and jeans for clients of A-SPAN (Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network). Look for a gift-wrapped donation box in the lobby of your building, or bring your donation to the holiday market. The clothing drive ends on the last day of the market, December 11.
