Carlyle Crossing, a mixed-use destination located in the Eisenhower Corridor of Alexandria, invites the community to experience Spring Hue, an open-air evening market celebrating local creativity, art, and community connection. The 1.7 million-square-foot destination — home to luxury residences, retail offerings, and the area’s flagship Wegmans and located just steps from the Washington Metro Eisenhower Avenue Metro Station — will transform into a lively gathering space filled with local artists, makers, music, and interactive experiences for all to enjoy.
Curated by Wild Side Media, the market will feature a diverse selection of local artists and makers showcasing handmade goods, vintage apparel, jewelry, textiles, housewares, original artwork, and other unique finds.
Guests can also enjoy a variety of immersive, hands-on experiences, including aura photography, blind contour drawing, keychain-making, a family-friendly dog experience, and a make-your-own “grab and go” bouquet station, alongside a vinyl-only husband-and-wife DJ duo spinning cumbia, salsa, boogaloo, and other retro Latin sounds to create a vibrant, elevated atmosphere throughout the market.
Designed as both a creative showcase and neighborhood gathering, Spring Hue offers guests the opportunity to unwind after the workday, discover emerging artists and makers, and support local talent in a festive outdoor setting. Set against the backdrop of Carlyle Crossing, attendees are encouraged to sip, shop, and stroll throughout the market while experiencing an evening where art, music, culture, and community come together.
