Race the District

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled weekend at Union Market District! In partnership with Events DC, Union Market District is bringing a unique go-kart racing experience, powered by K1 Speed, the world’s premier go-kart racing operator.

Race the District returns October 9–12, transforming Union Market’s parking lot into a high-energy outdoor racetrack. The thrill goes beyond the track this year with a major headline moment: electronic duo Louis The Child will bring a live block party performance to 5th Street (adjacent to Union Market) on Saturday, October 11, presented by Nü Androids.
