The Del Ray Farmers’ Market (“Market”) is a year-round food and plant-based farmers’ market held every Saturday, 8am-12pm (except “Art on the Avenue” first Saturday of October). We welcome nonprofit, school, and civic groups to hold bake sales, other fundraising, and/or informational promotions outside the Market perimeter as pre-approved by Market management. Space is very limited – no more than one group per week can be accommodated. No group can participate more than twice per year, except DRBA and DRCA. All nonprofit, school, and civic groups are subject to the following Market guidelines:
1. Confirm your date and plan with Market management.
- Submit your nonprofit or group application here.
- Provide a description of your group and its purpose at the Market (group mission and what exactly will be promoted, sold, etc.)
- Bake sales may only be held by registered 501(c)(3) organizations, as permitted by the Alexandria Health Department.
- All activities, promotions, sale items, and music must be approved in advance.
2. Set up in the Plaza Area on the perimeter of the market as directed by Market management.

3. Groups must bring their own equipment, including tables, chairs, and tents.

4. Please arrive at 7:30am to be set up by 8:00am.
5. Groups must stay until the Market closes at 12pm.
6. No more than four people at one time due to space limitations.
7. Sale of non-food items except event tickets or plant-based items will need to be approved by the Market management.
