You may not see all the tents that you're used to seeing, but inside that bright red building at 4109 Mt. Vernon Avenue the brand new 4MR Winter Market is on!
4MRMarket has become the 4MR Winter Market until sometime in April. The winter market will be indoors at the 4MR Conservatory Center (basically the same place as usual just inside the big red building) and many of your favorite vendors will be staying on all winter! So remember to go inside and check it out!
Keep on the look-out for more details to come as we venture into this new undertaking.
We're welcoming Papa's Orchard from Ortanna, Pennsylvania and we're welcoming back Tom's Amish Cheese Shop! These stalwarts like to stay out in the cold
Indoors, be our wonderful assortment of vendors, like the Pretentious Gourmet, Savory 'n Sweet, Sweet Twist of Ecuador, Captain Xan, & Switch Doctor Switchel. New crafters and food artisans may be joining us along the way.
Look for us inside the building.

And we're incredibly proud to announce that we've been awarded an Alexandria Beautification Award along with our non-profit partner, the Four Mile Run Conservatory Foundation, for our combined ongoing efforts to contribute to park improvements. We capped that by extending our tree planting efforts with the planting of Food Forest with the help of TD Bank & Tree Stewards volunteers and the Arbor Day Foundation for #TDTreeDays. And we started our 2018 clean-ups with a low-tide stream cleaning event for Saturday, February 18th. Keep abreast on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or on the web.

As a 100% neighborhood volunteer run market, we are proud that 4MRMarket serves as an incubator for small start-up businesses, a space for non-profits to promote their causes, and a community gathering place for live music, fellowship, and quality food and craft options. We're happy to announce the new vendors approach us almost every day. We love hosting new businesses and watching them grow. And we've been there through their ups & downs.
