Farmers Markets

Alexandria offers a variety of Farmers' Markets several days of the week - some even year-round! Old Town's Market Square is full of life early each Saturday morning as is Del Ray's market. The West End showcases their fresh goodies on Sundays and Upper King Street offers visitors and locals a chance to buy fresh produce and baked goods mid-week. Stop by one (or all!) of these local treasures and pick up fresh flowers for your hotel room or a jar of jam to take home as that perfect souvenir of your visit to Alexandria!

Old Town Farmers' Market
Market Square, 301 King Street | Saturdays, 7 a.m. - noon, year round.

People who come to Alexandria on Saturday mornings find themselves in a busy plaza where local farmers and artists have been selling their products since 1753. Old Town Alexandria's Market Square is thought to be one of the nation's oldest continually operating farmer's markets, serving as a primary way Alexandria residents have typically obtained their meat, dairy, fish, fruits and vegetables.

George Washington sent his produce from Mount Vernon to be sold at the Farmer's Market. Today, the market offers Alexandrians a way to reconnect to the past, while participating in an ongoing local and national tradition.

Del Ray Farmers' Market
