A pop-up farmers market was held June 6 in Montgomery Park as part of the Taste of Old Town North summer festival, which continues through June 21. “This is a reimagined event for us,” said Margaret Townsend, president of the Old Town North Community Partnership.
According to the Alexandria Gazette Packet, "The two-month event is designed to allow participants to check out local businesses at their own pace with a passport available for purchase that includes discounts at various retailers. “You can buy a passport for $10 and get discounts throughout the neighborhood,” Townsend added. “We will have a concert and one more pop-up on June 20th and our usual Thursday Farmers Market will include a concert here at the park."
