The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Monday, November 3, at Town Hall, 15000 Washington Street, Suite 100. Residents can attend in person or watch live on the town’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/@TownofHaymarket/streams.
“Join us this Sunday, October 26th for our Halloween Farmers Market!” Town of Haymarket (Facebook) posted. “Come in costume and let the kids trick-or-treat at the vendor booths while you shop!”
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature live music, crafts, trick-or-treating, and food vendors at the Haymarket Farmers Market.
Haymarket Day kicks off today with a record 321 vendors, a retro-themed parade, and tax-free dining for the weekend.
The town’s 4% meals tax is waived through Sunday, October 19, allowing visitors to enjoy prepared food from local restaurants tax-free. Town officials say the tradition helps support restaurants during their busiest weekend of the year.

HAYMARKET, Va. – A public Celebration of Life for Gainesville District Supervisor Bob Weir will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Giuseppe’s Ristorante Italiano, 15120 Washington Street in downtown Haymarket. The family has requested that attendees dress casually for the occasion.
Weir, 62, died on July 20, 2025, following a brief battle with metastatic colon cancer. He was first elected to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in a special election in 2023 and won a full four-year term later that year. Known for his straightforward style and focus on transparency, he built a reputation as a responsive leader who personally followed up with residents on local concerns.
