Need something to do this weekend? Take a trip on the Blue/Orange Line and hop off at Eastern Market. This Washington hot spot is glistening with farmers market faves and flea market bargains.

Eastern Market Rebuilt!
Capitol Hill Community Foundation
The oldest continuously operating food market in the city, Eastern Market is also the center of life in our community. The devastating April 30, 2007, fire destroyed the roof and shut down operations in the entire building.
