The Lodge At National Landing Returns for Thirs Year of Free Winter Festival Fun

The Lodge at National Landing returns for its third year, transforming Arlington’s Metropolitan Park into a ski-inspired winter wonderland. Presented by the National Landing Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with Amazon, this free, family-friendly festival invites guests—and their four-legged friends—to enjoy cozy winter charm, live entertainment, and festive activities. Attendees can browse the covered holiday vendor market, savor French comfort food from Bar Colline, sip seasonal drinks from the Summit Bar, snap photos with Santa, and join the new “Lodge After Dark Holiday Karaoke Showdown.” Kids can craft gingerbread chalets and ornaments with the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, while pets can compete in the Dog Sweater Contest and visit the dog treat bar by District Dogs. The Peppermint Mocha Latte Competition also returns, featuring tastings from nine local coffee shops and bakeries. With two performance tents, local vendors, and festive bites, The Lodge captures the spirit of the season as a cherished community tradition. The event takes place Saturday, December 6, from 1 to 7 p.m. at Metropolitan Park (1330 S Fair St, Arlington, VA). Admission is free, with Eventbrite reservations recommended.
