Dear Washingtonians,
This holiday season, I am grateful to live in and lead a city where we look out for our neighbors, fight to protect and defend our DC values, and believe that no matter what challenges we face, we can work together to build a better, brighter path forward.
Happy holidays, DC.
Sincerely,
 This Saturday, celebrate the holidays with arts and crafts, live music, games, food trucks, and local vendors at the Shops at Penn Branch. The Holiday Bazaar will feature various local vendors, local bands, selfies with Santa, and more.
