Our 2009 AVMM will be held November 5-7, 2009, at the Alexandria Riverfront Center. A Very Merry Market is a three-day extravaganza featuring fine gifts, accessories, and decorative items from across the country.

As one of the primary fundraisers for the Junior League of Alexandria, A Very Merry Market provides funds for community projects and the financial support of many agencies in our community. We know this year will be a great success!
