This flea market, across from Eastern Market, boasts crafts, clothes, antiques, salvaged goods, jewelry, rugs...just everything. It's in a parking lot across from Eastern Market and is held every Saturday and Sunday between roughly 9am-5pm. I always find fun antiques and salvaged goods here, but there is also some bad crafts. Worth a look if you come down for the wonderful produce at Eastern Market!
