Shop from more than 200 talented artisans from 30+ states, featuring an incredible selection of handcrafted, Made-in-America creations. Our longstanding commitment to supporting American makers and artists means shoppers will discover distinctive, beautifully crafted gifts—many of them truly one-of-a-kind.

Select gourmet food vendors will also offer beautifully packaged specialty foods perfect for gift baskets, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, and those hard-to-find presents.
The Dulles Town Center Expo, located in the former Lord & Taylor store at 21100 Dulles Town Center Circle, Sterling, VA, is a new two-level, 120,000-square-foot event venue. This year’s Christmas Market will be held on the lower level.
Purchase your tickets online in advance for the easiest entry from the expo parking lot. Tickets may also be purchased at the door by cash or credit card; onsite ticket buyers will enter through the mall and walk a short distance to the box office.
The Christmas Market also proudly continues its annual food drive benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank. Bring a non-perishable food item and receive $1 off admission at the door, while helping families throughout Northern Virginia.

Capital Area Food Bank
The Northern Virginia Christmas Market holds a major food drive each year benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank by offering discoounted admission to attendees donating cans of non-perishable food. Last year over 5,000 pounds of food was collected during this popular 3-day event. And, over 90,000 pounds of food have been collected in the last 10 years. Side Note: The tractor trailers you see on the highway can carry about 40,000 pounds of canned food. Thank you for your generous donations!
We hope to see you there!
