Centered around the century-old market house from which it gets its name, this enormous, primarily open-air Eastern Market offers everything from produce to photographs, as well as hats, scarves and Christmas tree ornaments. It is the last of Washington's 19th-century markets to remain in continuous use and is a must-see for tourists, as it offers a glimpse of the heart of Washington and its inhabitants. Within the market, the atmosphere is friendly and cheerful. A Weekend Market Festival is open every Saturday and features artists, craftspersons, antiques and a flea market.
