Eastern Market
Posted on Sunday, April 5, 2009, at 8:08 pm, by Customer Service Minion #2.
Although 7th Street has been closed for repaving between C Street and North Carolina Avenue, Eastern Market remains open! Inevitably the street work has caused some dislocation, and the city government is distributing the postcard shown below to clarify the situation. The temporary East Hall continues to be open during the restoration of the historic North and South Halls. The Farmers’ Market is now divided between the North Hall Plaza and the Poolside Patio. And last, but not least, non-farm exhibitors such as Archelaus are now found in four locations: on the east side of 7th Street below C Street, under the green Farmers’ Line Shed on the west side of 7th Street above C Street, on the North Hall Plaza, and on the Poolside Patio. The separately managed Flea Market continues to function in the schoolyard between 7th and 8th Streets.
Archelaus continues to attend the market primarily on Sundays, weather permitting, although going forward we cannot exclude the possibility of attending some Saturdays, particularly if the weather forecast is more favorable than for the following day.
