Georgetown BID/Heart of Georgetown
One of the most anticipated shopping weekends arrives each April when Georgetown’s Book Hill neighborhood celebrates the season with the annual Georgetown French Market.
The Book Hill merchants, restaurants, salons and galleries display their wares in an inviting open air market, evoking the outdoor markets of Paris where guests wander between shops and galleries tempted by the aroma of fresh coffee and croissants while enjoying the sounds of strolling musicians.
The 2014 Georgetown French Market will be held on Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26.
Upper Wisconsin Avenue, between P Street and Reservoir Road – known as Book Hill, will transform into the Georgetown French Market featuring local boutiques, antique shops, restaurants and galleries offering savings up to 75% on designer goods, art and home furnishings. The Georgetown French Market also features family friendly entertainment, whimsical mimes and strolling musicians.
