In the Spring and Fall of 2008, Eastern Market Music again presents a sampling of the Washington area’s best blues, bluegrass, swing, jazz, contemporary, and international musicians. The Capitol Hill Community Foundation sponsors the series, which began in July 2007, to remind everyone that Eastern Market is alive and open after the devestating fire of April 2007.

Performances are on Sundays from May 4 to June 29 and September 7 to October 12, on the corner of 7th Street and North Carolina Avenue, S.E., outside of Port City Java. Plan to come to Eastern Market to hear some of the finest free music you’ll hear in DC.
