The Washington Architectural Foundation is pleased to announce the Fall Design Fête will take place at the Union Market Dock5 on November 20, 2025. This event will celebrate our community and honor several worthy individuals and programs that have made Washington a better place through their contributions as designers, advocates and clients.
