What: On Congress Heights’ Small Business Saturday, Chris Pyrate & Friends will curate a local holiday market featuring 30 DC-based lifestyle vendors and popular food trucks. Congress Heights businesses will also be spotlighted. Flea DC!, playing on the phrase “Flee DC!” is a market concept aiming to reverse the trend of creatives being forced to “flee” the DC area to find success due to gentrification. The market hopes to offer a well-produced, point-of-sale opportunity to local creatives, rivaling opportunities in cities that our creatives “flee” to rivaling opportunities seen in New York and Los Angeles. Accessible to the public.
