ALEXANDRIA, VA – Alexandria’s iconic Old Town Farmers’ Market—one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the nation—is on the move. Beginning in January 2026 (exact date forthcoming), the Market will temporarily relocate to the 100 block of North Royal Street and the courtyard at Tavern Square while Market Square and City Hall undergo significant renovations.

City officials say the temporary relocation is essential to ensure the Market’s remarkable 272-year tradition continues without interruption.

The new setup—located just steps from its historic footprint—will offer all the same elements that generations of Alexandrians have come to love. More than 70 local vendors, including farmers, bakers, florists, and makers, will continue to operate each Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.
