A Nation's Capital Christmas
Although politics and the Redskins may be Washington’s most well-known traditions, when it comes to Christmas, the nation’s capital offers a festive array of annual events. Come along on this holiday walking tour and hear about the Obama’s first Christmas at the White House, sugar plum fairies and a nutcracker, and which hotel lobby always displays the swankiest décor. Get some gift buying done at the Downtown Holiday Market and revel in discovering new aspects of downtown D.C. What’s been happening at Ford’s Theater? Did that movie palace truly seat 3,000 patrons? The walk will conclude at the National Christmas tree, where you can see over 50 individually-decorated trees dedicated to each U.S. state and territory or warm yourself by the blazing Yule log.
