East End Street Market

The year-round weekly East End Street
Market, a project of the Greater East End
Management District, takes place on
Sundays from 10am to 2pm on the award-
winning Navigation Esplanade (2800
Navigation Blvd.).

Unique among Houston’s farmers markets,
the East End Street Market blends sights
and sounds, cuisine and culture to create
an experience that is rooted in one of
Houston’s most historic communities.

Visit the East End Street Market to
sample fresh garden fruits and vegetables,
locally produced farm and dairy products,
prepared foods, and unique handcrafted
wares.
