农业部宣布国家广场办「伟大美国圣诞市集」：12月2至3日举行，现招募美国产商贩
美国农业部与农业部长布鲁克·L·罗林斯（Brooke L. Rollins）11月6日在华盛顿宣布，将举办为期两天的「伟大美国圣诞市集」（Great American Christmas Market），汇聚全美各地的农民、牧场主、工匠与生产者，在国家广场展示美国农业与手工艺的精品。这是农业部为期一年的美国建国250周年纪念活动的收官之作，此前该部已举办「伟大美国州博览会」与「伟大美国农贸市集」。
市集定于12月2日（周三）与12月3日（周四）15时至21时，在位于国家广场的农业部惠滕大楼（1400 Jefferson Drive SW, Washington, DC 20250，Smithsonian地铁站旁）举行。罗林斯将在市集开幕时表彰为美国250周年庆典作出贡献的农民、牧场主、生产者与合作伙伴。
罗林斯说：「农业触及我们日常生活的方方面面，在圣诞季尤其明显。从家中的圣诞树和花环，到围坐餐桌分享的饭菜，再到美国生产者精心制作的礼物，农业织进了我们最珍视的节日传统。『伟大美国圣诞市集』是向让这些传统成为可能的辛勤工作者致敬的庆典，也是美国人支持体现圣诞精神与乡村美国力量的本土产品与生产者的机会。」
市集亮点包括：美国种植者出品的新鲜圣诞树、花环、花饰与迷你树；适合节日餐桌的时令农产品、手工奶酪与特色食品；蜂蜜、果酱、薰衣草制品、烘焙食品与手工艺品等美国产礼品；美国牧场主的优质肉类与特色产品；以及贯穿市集的圣诞颂歌演唱与节日娱乐。农业部现邀请美国生产者报名参展，欢迎提供圣诞树、花环、冬季农产品、肉类、奶酪、蜂蜜、果酱、烘焙食品、糖果、羊毛毯与手工艺礼品等美国种植或美国制造节日产品的商贩申请。

USDA Announces Great American Christmas Market on the National Mall for December 2-3
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced in Washington on November 6 the launch of the Great American Christmas Market, a two-day holiday celebration on the National Mall that will bring together farmers, ranchers, artisans and producers from across the country to showcase the very best of American agriculture and craftsmanship. The market is the culminating event of USDA's year-long commemoration of America's 250th anniversary, following the Great American State Fair and the Great American Farmers Market earlier this year.
The market will be held on Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December 3, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the USDA Whitten Building on the National Mall, 1400 Jefferson Drive SW, Washington, DC 20250, by the Smithsonian Metro station. Secretary Rollins will officially open the market by recognizing the farmers, ranchers, producers and partners whose dedication helped bring America's 250th celebration to life.
"Agriculture touches nearly every aspect of our daily lives, and nowhere is that more evident than during the Christmas season," Rollins said. "From the Christmas trees and wreaths in our homes, to the meals shared around family tables, to the thoughtful gifts crafted by American producers, agriculture is woven into our most cherished holiday traditions. The Great American Christmas Market is a celebration of the hardworking men and women who make those traditions possible and an opportunity for Americans to support the people and products that embody the spirit of Christmas and the strength of rural America."
Highlights include fresh Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands and mini trees from American growers; seasonal produce, artisan cheeses and specialty foods; American-grown, American-made gifts including honey, preserves, lavender products, baked goods and handcrafted goods; premium meats and specialty products from American ranchers; and festive Christmas caroling and holiday entertainment throughout the market. USDA invites American producers offering holiday products — including Christmas trees, wreaths, winter produce, meats, cheeses, honey, preserves, baked goods, confections, wool blankets and handcrafted gifts — to apply to participate as vendors.
