Crazy Days, the Farmers Market (Saturday), and the Art Market (Saturday) all in one place — downtown is buzzing this weekend with local talent and fun!

This time of year is truly magical ✨ in Alexandria and we're so excited that two of our favorite traditions are back for the season: The Alexandria Farmers Market and Arts Initiative of Douglas County's Saturday Art Market! From 9-1 every Saturday in Big Ole Park (2nd Ave & Broadway), peruse a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers, homemade products, baked and canned goods, original handmade art from local artists, and so much more! Everything tastes better when you know it was grown with love. ❤

We are a proud sponsor of the live music 🎶that will keep you moving and grooving from 9:30-12:30 in the Art Market all summer long!
