MONA Exclusive Candle

We’ve partnered with District Heroines, a beloved vendor from our annual Holiday Market, to create a MONA-exclusive candle inspired by our unique vibe. Our Mandarin and Mimosa-scented candle, aptly named "Smells Like Long Waitlists, Overachieving Parents, & The Occasional Happy Hour," is available in a sleek 5 oz gold tin for $18.  Order yours here. The candles can be picked up from a member's home (address provided upon purchase.). Don't miss out—grab yours today!


Volunteers!

We need volunteers to make this event a success.  You can sign up for a 30 minute volunteer shift here.  All volunteers get a complimentary drink bracelet.  


Reminder: If you plan to drink, always plan for a safe ride home.

District Heroines 



Co-founders & sisters, Dakota & Haley, inspired the DH initials with the first letters of their names. They wanted to create a brand that represented their favorite parts of DC. They also wanted a brand that represented female empowerment, hence the name Heroine. The definition of a Heroine is as follows: the chief female character; a woman admired, idealized for her courage, outstanding achievements, and noble qualities. The goal with District Heroines is to create humor-based candles that represent all communities in Washington, D.C.
