In addition to our long-running Sunday Flea Market at Eastern Market on both C Street Plaza and the 300 block of 7th Street SE, we are pleased to also continue to operate The SATURDAY FLEA MARKET AT EASTERN MARKET on the C Street Plaza on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Though not the largest flea market, it is arguably one of the most diverse in the nation. The Flea Market features arts, crafts, antiques, collectibles, and imports from around the world. Exhibitors are extremely knowledgeable of their wares and many actually make their products. The flea market has been a turning point in the development pattern of Capitol Hill. When it opened, Eastern Market was closed and the streets were deserted on Sundays. Due in large part to the foot traffic created by the flea market, Eastern Market is now a major destination for locals, area residents and tourists.
