Alexandria, VA – Looking for great gifts that are unique, hand-crafted, and special? Then you must be at the Del Ray Artisans’ 28th Annual Holiday Market the first three weekends in December. “You might want to attend all three because different artists are featured each weekend!” says Amy Kitchin, DRA Curating Director.
