Old Town Alexandria Merchants to hold first-ever Summer Sidewalk Sale


The brick sidewalks of Old Town Alexandria, VA will be buzzing with shoppers on Saturday, August 14. Participating merchants from the river to the Metro, on King Street and the side streets, will be showcasing their products in the first Old Town-wide Summer Sidewalk Sale. The hours are 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (individual store hours vary).

Each participating retailer will host a unique event or promotion--some retailers will be offering deeply-discounted summer merchandise, some will be holding demonstrations of their product lines, and others will have special events. Clothing, accessory, children's, book, jewelry and home decor and furnishings boutiques, as well as galleries and Historic Sites such as the Torpedo Factory and the Historic Alexandria Museum Store, will be a part of the event.

Sponsors of the event are the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, the Alexandria Convention and Visitors Association and The Potomac Riverboat Company.
