Here's more info:
The Made in ALX Maker's Market at Port City Brewing Co. in Alexandria is a fun and uniquely interactive event where you can sip, shop and craft!
You'll have the opportunity to shop from more than 25 local vendors with unique art, crafts and gifts. (Mother's Day is the following weekend, on May 10!)
In addition, vendors will offer a variety of arts and craft projects for guests to do, including:
Make your own jewelry in several styles
Mix up an all-natural, custom-scented hand scrub
Make your own custom magnets
Paint a watercolor bookmark
Personalize a beer glass
Decorate chocolate truffles
Mix up a jar of quick pickles
Create custom labels for candles, cookies and other gifts
Create a key ring
... and more!
While you're shopping and crafting, you can sip on award-winning brews from Port City Brewing Co. and enjoy lunch or snacks from La Tingeria, the brewery's on-site restaurant.
This event, as always, is kid-friendly and pet-friendly (outside the brewery), too.
Port City Brewing Co. is at 3950 Wheeler Ave. in Alexandria's West End. See you there on Saturday, May 2!
Special thanks to Temperus Heating & Cooling for their support this year!
It was a really nice day out, so we propped open the doors at Made In ALX. And then a bird flew in and… wouldn’t leave. Huge thanks to Katie from @ellabella_flourishfearlessly and a few customers and even some nice @tacobell team members, who all tried to help. He finally flew into the office — about 3 hours after coming in — and we were able to trap him and release him. #madeinalx #alexandriava #bird #urbanwildlife
