Grand Opening Weekend of WE MAKE DC

WE MAKE DC is a retail and cultural activation in Washington, DC celebrating DC’s 250th anniversary. It’s a space where you don’t just shop—you experience the people, stories, and creativity that make this city what it is.

Discover the best products made by DC-based creators, alongside immersive experiences that celebrate the District’s rich history, culture, and communities—told through the lens of the people who live and shape it.
