The Four Mile Run Winter Market (4MR Winter Market) will be open every Sunday from 9am until 1pm from November 29th through about Mid-April 2016 in Four Mile Run Park at 4109 Mt Vernon Avenue, Alexandria. (click here for directions)
You may not see all the tents that you're used to seeing, but inside that bright red building at 4109 Mt. Vernon Ave the brand new 4MR Winter Market is kicking off!
The Four Mile Run Conservatory Center will play host to most of the vendors you know and love from 4MRMarket, plus probably some new vendors in the next week or two.
At the first winter market, we know that C&T Produce, Tom's Amish Cheese, and Second Rising will all be there! C&T Produce will have wreaths, swags, and more Christmas-y decorations along with lots of cold weather produce.
Next Sunday, Bagel Uprising will be back for the season with Savory N' Sweet, Felicity's Handcrafted Soaps, Whole Health, Sun & Moon Accessories and more!
Vendors
This is a general list of the vendors that will be at 4MR Winter Market throughout the season.
(Note that individual vendors may be off from time-to-time.)
The Four Mile Run Farmers and Artisans Market and Four Mile Run Winter Market (Alexandria, Virginia 22305) bring fresh, nutritious food to people of all income levels, provide an opportunity for local artisans and producers of goods to bring their wares to market, strive to reflect the diversity of the community, and improve the quality of life for Arlandria residents and visitors. It is part of an overall vision to expand and improve Four Mile Run park and the surrounding neighborhood.
