While you take in the many shopping options of the 300-acre waterfront development, make sure to allot time to go to the bevy of activities National Harbor has to offer over the holiday season. Come to see the lighting of the 60 ft Christmas tree or watch the nightly light show. If you are feeling brave, go ice skating at the East Pier Platform on the Waterfront or watch Santa Claus take a break on Christmas Eve to water ski across the Potomac. Whether you watch live music or attend the holiday market, the venue offers patrons the opportunity to check shopping items off their list while also having a good time.
