Plan to make Historic Eastern Market part of your fourth of July celebrations! Historic Eastern Market will be open; Saturday, July 4th - 7 am to 3 pm and Sunday, July 5th - 9 am to 5 pm.
The merchants are back in the restored Historic South Hall, stocked and ready to supply you with the finest seafood, meat, poultry, produce, cheese and baked goods for your family’s festivities. Eastern Market’s farmers line has recently harvested fresh produce from around the local region and while at the market enjoy blueberry buckwheat pancakes or North Carolina style barbeque at Eastern Market’s very own Market Lunch.
Around the Eastern Market square you will also discover a wide selection of handmade pottery, jewelry, ceramics, crafts, furniture and Flea Market finds. For market enthusiasts, many of the local artists have completed their rendition of the newly restored Eastern Market.
We look forward to seeing you at The Market!

WASHINGTON, DC (September 16, 2008)–The September 2008 fall edition of the popular Walking Town DC tours returns to Capitol Hill and Eastern Market this weekend.
The Saturday, September 20, tour: “Capitol Hill” meets outside the Eastern Market Metro station at 7th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, at 10 a.m. and runs until Noon. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 202-661-7581.
The Sunday, September 21, tour: “Capitol Hill and the Landmark Eastern Market” also meets at Eastern Market Metro at 10 a.m. continuing through 11:30 a.m. Reservations are not required.
As was the inaugural Sunday walk in April, it will be led by Carole Kolker and presented by Cultural Tourism DC. The tour will “trace the evolution of the 135-year-old Eastern Market from the Navy Yard to its present location, a Victorian- style masterpiece designed by political radical and architect Adolph Cluss. Hear stories about market culture and how, despite a ravaging fire in 2007, local efforts have persisted in maintaining this vital neighborhood hub, where shoppers are greeted by the familiar faces of generations of vendors.”
The inaugural walk featuring Eastern Market was supported in part byThe Capitol Hill Restoration Society, The Flea Market at Eastern Market and the Capitol Hill Community Foundation.

| Written by Charles Allen |
| Tuesday, 04 September 2007 |
 As many devoted Eastern Market fans will remember, Eastern Market Pottery has been looking for a new location ever since fire and smoke damaged the classroom and workshop above the north hall. Just a week after the opening of the temporary East Hall, an announcement has been made by Eastern Market Pottery that it will hold its first classes beginning on Monday, Sept. 10th. They have found a new home at 320 3rd Street NE - please note the entrance is at the rear.Eastern Market Pottery’s Chuck Brome reports that they expect to have over 20 former students return to their classes for the first time since April. They are advertising and looking for new students as well. He adds, “We are still putting equipment in place and stocking clay and glaze materials. Storage has been at several locations and bringing it all together to make an efficient workshop/class studio is ongoing.”How do you contact them at their new digs to find out more? Brome says its best to contact them at 202-544-6669. It’s currently being routed to his cell phone, but it will soon become their landline. |
