Unique go-kart racing experience, October 9-12
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled weekend at Union Market District! In partnership with Events DC, we’re 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 weekend will be packed with go-karting excitement for all ages (a minimum height of 58” is required), from seasoned racers to complete beginners. Each 15-minute race will accommodate six drivers, perfect for creating fun memories with family and friends. Join us for the races and stay for live music, awesome entertainment and a variety of delicious eats from Union Market District’s favorite restaurants and bars.
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.
