ALXFest Holiday Market

Calling all Alexandria Commons tenants! Join us as a featured merchant at this year’s Holiday Market. This is a prime opportunity for existing shopping center businesses to set up outdoor spaces, feature seasonal specials, and connect directly with festive foot traffic right outside your storefront.

Are you a local artisan, craftsman, or creative creator? Apply to showcase and sell your handmade goods, original artwork, handcrafted jewelry, and one-of-a-kind holiday gifts. Connect with shoppers looking for unique, locally crafted treasures this holiday season.

We welcome local non-profits, community organizations, and civic groups to partner with us for this festive event. Engage directly with community members, share your mission, and celebrate the holiday spirit alongside local businesses and creators.

We are seeking talented local musicians and street performers to bring live energy, festive tunes, and cozy holiday vibes to our holiday market!
