The District proper is open for business. Retail numbers are strong but that doesn’t mean all is whole from the past few difficult years. If you’re in the giving mood, why not do so in fold? You can use your purchasing power to show your appreciation in a way that supports our community. After all, the best of the best is at your fingertips.

Georgetown has a world-class mix of enchanting shops and eateries laced through its delightfully decorated historic corridors. The retailers would love to meet you in person and show you their seasonal offerings. Many of them give back to the community as well, through special causes to which they contribute from items they sell.

The Four Seasons is “Lighting Up the Season” to benefit Children’s Hospital. The courtyard is transformed into a magical dreamscape featuring a charming curation of local vendors and creators. The festive displays are sure to ring in the holiday cheer while you peruse the select assortments in support of a good cause.

This is a time to celebrate community. Let’s give with intention this holiday season. Shop Georgetown and all it presents.
