Georgetown French Market
The Georgetown French Market transforms Wisconsin Avenue into a vibrant open-air celebration of Parisian culture. This annual spring tradition features over 30 local boutiques, antique shops, and restaurants offering sidewalk sales and specialized European cuisines. Visitors can wander through blocks of curated fashion and home decor while enjoying live jazz, stilt-walkers, and face painters. From artisanal pastries and savory crepes to vintage vinyl and rare books, the event captures the charming essence of a French neighborhood market. Free and family-friendly, it’s an ideal weekend destination for shoppers and foodies looking to experience a touch of France in the heart of D.C.
