In celebration of small business week, the National Retail Federation, the world’s largest retail trade association, is hosting a pop-up shopping bonanza on Wednesday evening at the Park at CityCenterDC. The event will include local shops, food trucks, as well as CityCenterDC retailers who will have related specials within their stores.
For one night, Washingtonians can shop some of their favorite local companies all in one place, including Hugh & Crye, Salt & Sundry, Propper Topper, Urban Stems, Tuckernuck, and Potomac River Running. Foodies can indulge in Milk Cult’s ice cream, ‘Chups fruity ketchups, and Undone’s artisan chocolates. Jose Andres’ Pepe, CapMac, and Ball or Nothing food trucks will also be on hand to fuel the party.
While in the neighborhood, attendees can also take a look at all the brand-spanking-new retail that’s taken up residence in CityCenterDC–stores such as Arc’teryx, the technical outerwear apparel company, Zadig & Voltaire, the French luxury streetwear brand, and Loro Piana, which markets high-end cashmere goods, will all have their doors open for the evening’s festivities.
Retail’s Night Out will take place on Wednesday, May 6 from 5 to 9 PM at The Park at CityCenterDC, 11th Street and New York Avenue.
Update: Bull + Moose will not be participating in the pop-up.
