4MR Winter Market: Taking a Snow Day.

The Four Mile Run Winter Market (4MR Winter Market) will be open every Sunday from 9am until 1pm until the main market kicks off back outside in April.  Located in Four Mile Run Park at 4109 Mt Vernon Avenue, Alexandria. (click here for directions)

Just stating the obvious: 4MR Winter Market will be closed this Sunday to recover from the blizzard. Take care of yourselves and each other and look for us as soon as we get shoveled out!

City crews out working on the Avenue as the storm began.

We'll be back when the weather improves (assuming we can get to the building). Until then, here's what you can expect at a future 4MR Winter Market.
