Eastern Market
You Can Help Rebuild Eastern Market
The oldest continuously operating food market in the city, Eastern Market is also the center of life in our community. The devastating April 30, 2007, fire destroyed the roof and shut down operations in the entire building. The City reacted immediately to construct a temporary East Hall across 7th Street from the Market, and the market re-opened in August, just 3 months after the fire. It is expected that a restored Eastern Market will be ready for business during the summer of 2008.
