As summer gets underway, so does the inaugural season of the American Market at National Harbor. Beginning May 31 and held every Saturday through October 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., up to 60 regional vendors will showcase some of the best produce, pastries, crafts, artwork, fashion, jewelry and flowers the region has to offer. From florists to glass blowers, quilters to farmers, the American Market at National Harbor promises to be one of the most unique and colorful outdoor markets in the area. With breathtaking views along the Potomac River, the market will soon become a weekend favorite for residents and visitors alike. We look forward to welcoming talented local farmers, bakers and florists, vintners, musicians and artisans of all sorts, to our waterfront, said Kent Digby Vice President for Operations at National Harbor. Visitors to The American Market can anticipate a place to shop, stroll, taste, listen and simply enjoy a cornucopia of colorful offerings. To view the entire list of market vendors, visit
