The Art of Living...

Takoma Park, Maryland and Takoma, DC are known as a haven for artisans...from fine artists and crafters, to musicians, dancers, woodworkers, and writers.

And Old Takoma...
Small town village in the heart of the nation's capital!
our Old Takoma shops reflect this creative heritage by showcasing the work of our local artisans, as well as handcrafted imports from around the world.

Forget the malls!

Instead, take advantage of our unique shopping district and have a casual, fun time exploring the nooks and crannies of our downtown stores and galleries.

Our online shopping guide can help you find just the right gift for everyone on your holiday list...amber jewelry, Pashima scarves, hand-painted silk scarves, kilim bags, hand-thrown pottery, art glass, photography, acoustic instruments, music CDs of every genre, children's toys and games, books...

Whew! What a great list!

And be sure to sample our casual cafés, or stroll down our residential streets lined with historic Victorian houses and Sears bungalows that are decked out for the holidays.

Enjoy!

Books & Music Around Town...

Rather than just one bookstore, Old Takoma has over a dozen mini book "corners" in many of our local shops. CDs are everywhere, too. Just browse around for the perfect read or music! >> info
