DAR Holiday Open House

About this event

Bring your friends and family to view the holiday decorations at DAR Headquarters!

On Wednesday, December 10, DAR Headquarters will be open to the public for this free event from 5:30-8pm. Visit the National Christmas Tree across the street at the Ellipse then get out of the cold and join us for refreshments, cookies and a taste of history. Santa is taking time out of his busy schedule to attend the Open House and take photos with visitors!

In the spirit of the giving season, visitors are invited to bring new or gently used children’s books to contribute to our DAR Open House book drive. Donations will benefit Books 4 Kids, a pediatric literacy program serving military families at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and nearby military clinics, as well as Everybody Wins DC, a nonprofit organization promoting literacy among children throughout the Washington, DC area.
