Bella Italia Market

The Bella Italia Market, a marketplace of quality Italian goods and services, will take place on Sat., Dec. 1 from 10 am to 6 pm, and Sun. Dec. 2 from 10 am to 5 pm. There will be a Designer Fashion Show with original Italian designs on Sat. Dec. 1 at 4 pm. The Market is a great way to start your holiday shopping.

A silent auction with great items is part of the fun. Find the Market at the Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center at 595 Third St., NW, Washington DC (one block from the Judiciary Square metro).
