The Four Mile Run Farmers and Artisans Market debuted its new performance stage—dubbed "4MRStage"—on Sunday morning with performances by the Irish Breakfast Band and banjo player Bill Mansfield.
The stage is just one part of the expansion and revitalization efforts at Four Mile Run Park, which hosts the market.
The Alexandria Commission for the Arts provided funding for the outdoor stage at the Four Mile Run Park Community Building with grant money from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Last year, Alexandria received an anonymous $10,000 donation to be used exclusively toward revitalizing Four Mile Run Park, including the stage.
The 4MRStage isn't the only bandstand to recently debut in Arlandria: The Birchmere unveiled its new Flex Stage earlier this month.
The Four Mile Run Farmers and Artisans Market runs Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, visit its website and follow along on Facebook and Twitter.
