Purcellville Community Market - best market around!


Purcellville Community Market is proud to provide Purcellville and the surrounding community a place to buy nutritious, healthy, fresh, local food; to enable farmers to obtain fair prices for their products; to educate the public about food nutrition and preparation; and to create a figurative “town square” where people in the community reconnect with their neighbors as well as the people who work the land and produce food.  We're thrilled to partnering with them again at the Painting Purcellville Green event!

For The Kids!

  Children’s Activities at Painting Purcellville Green

We’re expecting a busy day at the Children’s Activities corner of the 
5th Painting Purcellville Green sustainability event!

The directors of the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s popular youth Nature Camps will lead small groups on mini nature explorations of downtown Purcellville.

The 5 R’s -- a group of Round Hill youth dedicated to the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, and repeat – will help children create whimsical and wearable arts and crafts made from recycled materials, including crayons, bottle caps, bottle cap magnets, and soda tab chains

A representative of the The Nature Generation will be testing children’s knowledge of the environment in a hilarious Jeopardy-style game called  Eco-Logic.  

The Round Hill Arts Center will be back this year with its popular face painter and 
other activities for children.

And the challenging Recycle Toss game will be back, too, with prizes for good aim!
