The Capitol Hill Community Foundation is once again sponsoring a music series at Eastern Market featuring some of the Washington area’s best blues, bluegrass, swing, jazz, contemporary, and international musicians. The Foundation first started the series in July 2007 as a way to remind people that Eastern Market is still open for business after the fire that April.
Performances are on the corner of 7th Street and North Carolina Avenue, S.E., (outside of Port City Java) on Sundays at 10:30am and 1pm, through June 28 and will resume September 6 – October 11.
