International Vintage Store Day in Northern Virginia
The event launched in 2025 and has continued growing with participating stores hosting special sales, giveaways, and community events. Two Chicago-area vintage sellers started the event, hoping to draw attention to local vendors the same way record stores are celebrated on Record Store Day and comic book shops on Comic Book Day.

Three Northern Virginia stores will be participating.
Coco Cameo | 417 W Broad Street, Suite 101, Falls Church
This groovy shop will be open from 11AM to 5PM with fun things happening all day long. There will be a dedicated rack of $25 vintage finds. Customers who spend $40 or more will access a special bracelet bar for a complimentary gift. And all customers who make a purchase during International Vintage Store Day at Coco Cameo will be entered to win a vintage bag.
Mode on Main by MARA | 10417 Main Street, 1st Floor, Fairfax
You’ll know you’ve made it to Mode on Main when you see the blue and yellow exterior. This shop has a curated mix of men’s and women’s clothing, some jewelry, accessories, and more. Many items will be 50% off in the store, plus there will be a $5 bin and some more fun surprises.

The only thing better than a vintage shop is many vintage shops. Muz + Rose is the best of both worlds: it’s a collective of several vintage sellers all in one location. For International Vintage Store Day, the shop will also be hosting a closet sale pop-up. .
