Bring your little ones to the Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market in Four Mile Run Park this Sunday for a fun, musical way to learn!

The Uncle Devin Show is a live, participatory musical experience for children by world renowned drummer and author, Devin Walker. He uses the drum, both traditional and electronic, to convey universal principles of love to children and to inspire young people into pursuing the artist within themselves. This interactive show seeks to connect with children through the drum and the art of storytelling that will lead toward their personal, cultural and social development.

There are 5 markets left this year, and 4MRMarket really needs your help to keep it viable throughout the fall. The back-to-school season is a very hectic time of year in any ordinary year, but hurriquakes make it even more so. Don't forget about your neighborhood, volunteer-run market.

Between bad weather and holidays, perhaps many summer market goers just got out of the habit. We've noticed a drop-off since summer, but the vendors are still there every Sunday, and they need you to make it worth their while. So if you enjoy having another great Farmers Market option in Alexandria, and specifically one in your backyard, please come out to shop on Sunday, from 8am - 1pm. The volunteers will be there no matter what, but the Farmers and Artisans can only come out if it they can meet the bottom line.

We survived! Everything is pretty much in tact after the hurricaine and we are back in business. It's a holiday weekend and there's stuff you need to celebrate. We know where you should go. The Four Mile Run Farmers and Artisans Market will be open this Sunday September 4th.

A celebration where LAUGHTER rings out, LOVE and FRIENDSHIP are top priority and nature's BOUNTY is fully appreciated.

Now that summer is official on in all its full steaminess, it's a great oppurtunity to get out early on Sunday morning to 4MRMarket....even if you were out late this Saturday night watching fireworks at Alexandria's Birthday Celebration.

And about those fireworks, look for the 4MRMarket team there tonight for chance at a special promotion for the month of July. And don't miss the very special and exciting, pre-fireworks announcements from the stage. There'll be a new development that we're very proud of and we'd be honored to have our friends there!! 4MRMarket has always been about getting by with a lot of help from our friends and hope tonight's celebration can be one way to thank you all.

Saturday, May 21, 11 am to 5 pm and Sunday, May 22, 1 pm to 5 pm we need volunteers to help replant the Del Ray Farmers Market area.  We will be painting the picnic tables, pulling weeds, laying down mulch and moving flowers around.  We will also be making a Sunflower Garden in memory of Susan Brown.
