The 16th Annual Alexandria Warehouse Sale will return to Alexandria Saturday, Feb. 8, in the heart of Old Town.
Deemed the longest-running boutique-driven warehouse sale in the region, the popular mid-winter event will take place at the The Westin Alexandria Old Town located in the Carlyle District.
The fun but casual event will include a variety of new boutiques and retailers not only located in Alexandria, but throughout the Metro region. Admission is free.
The event was the brainchild of Elizabeth Todd (co-founder of the Old Town Boutique District and owner of The Shoe Hive) with the first warehouse sale taking place in 2004 in the Campagna Center.

Deal-seekers will find clothing, shoes, jewelry, home furnishings and more up to 80 percent off retail prices. Experienced sale shoppers line up early in the morning hours to get first grabs at top label merchandise, and throughout the day the sale has a steady pace of shoppers. Folks who decide to wait until the last few hours of the sale can score even more markdown deals with merchants looking to move seasonal merchandise.
The event is also giving away early entry into the warehouse sale to four lucky shoppers. The pass will be good for one person and a guest to enjoy the sale a full hour before the doors open to the public. Contest ends at midnight on Thursday, Feb. 6. Lucky winners will be notified on Feb. 7 .
