PumpkinPalooza

NoMa is a vibrant, growing neighborhood in Washington, DC, nestled among Union Station, the US Capitol, Shaw, Union Market, and the H Street NE corridor. Already, NoMa has almost 22 million square feet of commercial, residential and retail space, and each day, even during the current public health emergency, NoMa’s commercial core remains active with workers, residents and visitors, and the NoMa BID helps to encourage people to practice safe social distancing and to wear masks. Through a public-private partnership with the D.C. government, the neighborhood has received great new parks and public spaces. NoMa is also the city’s most connected neighborhood, with a Walk Score of 92, stellar cycling infrastructure, unparalleled rail options, two Metro stops, and vehicular access to major highways. The NoMa BID organizes and sponsors dozens of free community events each year and also maintains a free outdoor WiFi network. For more information, visitnomabid.organd sign up for our newsletter.
