  • Our outdoor Holiday Makers Market is scheduled for Sunday December 3.
  • Our Winter Market, held mostly indoors, will run from December 10 through April 14, 2024.

Purpose:
4MRMarket was founded to support the revitalization and expansion of Four Mile Run Park and to provide a local source of quality produce, meat, baked goods, prepared foods, artisan products and crafts to people in Alexandria, Arlington and beyond. 
  • 4MRMarket was the first market in Northern Virginia to accept SNAP/EBT (food stamp) sales. 
  • We have secured two sources for double dollar incentives in conjunction with INOVA Health Foundation, Wholesome Wave and the Alexandria Health Department to bring healthy food to people of all income levels. 
  • 4MRMarket has raised funds to purchase and plant several dozen trees in the park.
  • 4MRMarket donates its proceeds to the 4MR Conservatory Foundation to support additional initiatives in the park.

Other Highlights and Information
  • Neighborhoods: 4MRMarket is surrounded by middle to high income neighborhoods (Arlington Ridge, Crystal City, Del Ray, Beverly Hills) and low-to-middle income neighborhoods (Arlandria, Lynhaven, Shirlington, Shirley Park). Our customers are always eager for both inexpensive, quality goods, as well as higher-end goods such as grass-fed beef and seafood. 
  • 4MR Stage: We host live music most weeks -- on our outdoor stage during our seasonal market and inside during our Winter Market. 
  • Weekly 4MRMarket Report: each week, we send out an email preview of the upcoming market to customers. The newsletter goes out to over 3,000 email recipients and nearly 2,000 people on Facebook, Twitter, google+, and Instagram. 
  • Restrooms: Accessible during market hours within the Four Mile Run Conservatory building. 
  • Marketing: We use social media, "flyering" of key neighborhoods, and several large neighborhood listservs, among other initiatives. Help us reach new people by printing out and posting our Market Flier at your favorite coffee shop, a local bulletin board, etc. 
Happy Selling!
