Summer Courtyard 2026 - Vendor Fee

We'd love to invite you to be part of this year's Summer Courtyard!

After a year of bringing DC's favorite seasonal markets to life - from Summer Courtyard and Pumpkin Boulevard to Winter Clubhouse and Spring Catalog - we're excited to return to where it all began.

Last year's Summer Courtyard welcomed more than 5,000 attendees to Union Market in partnership with Shop Made in DC. This year, we're bringing the event back for another day of shopping, community, seasonal inspiration and celebrating an incredible lineup of local makers, artists, food vendors, and small businesses.

This year's theme is inspired by the nostalgia of an classic summer - sun-soaked afternoons, vintage picnic blankets, roadside fruit stands and the simple joy of spending a summer day with your people.

In addition to the curated marketplace, Shop Made in DC will be hosting special workshops and community programming throughout the day, while Cookbook Courtyard will curate a thoughtfully selected lineup of vendors. VERY LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE.
