Spring It On: A Small Business Market
in Aid of the White Helmets
Come hungry, thirsty, and ready to shake it all off on the dance floor!
Mode on Main by Mara is hosting a charity-driven spring market and artist alley for the entire family and bringing our community together for a good cause in Fairfax City.

This year we will be fundraising for the White Helmets https://www.whitehelmets.org/en/
The White Helmets are responding to the huge earthquake that hit Syria. As they search for survivors and pull the dead from collapsed buildings, they urgently need support. Give what you can to support their life-saving work.
We will have huge community raffle baskets ($2500+ value) that you can enter to win by donating to the charity. To get your ticket, click here.
Mark Your Calendars for
Record Store Day April 22nd!
This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
In Old Town Fairfax, we are fortunate to have Mobius Records right on Main Street! Mark your calendars for this amazing day. Here are some quick details to keep in mind:
• Mobius Records will open at 9AM at Saturday, April 22

• Record Store Day is a first come, first served event. No holds or reserves.
• Limit one copy per title.
• Quantities are very limited!
• Please do not call or DM with questions about titles and quantities. They won’t fully know what they are getting until they start receiving inventory.
• Mobius Records will always post the list of titles we received the week of RSD on our website, once everything is checked in.
