Tourists adore the District for its fancy shops and restaurants, but when it comes to why locals love the area, it’s all due to the people.

In one of the most diverse cities in the world, get acquainted with unfamiliar cultures at The Rough’s GET FLEE Market in Sandlot Southeast. Showcasing music, artwork and locally-made clothes, this market is the chance to see what D.C. is really about: people of different diasporas and cultures loving their community enough to share their talents.

Most of us may have roots elsewhere, but our varied roots are what makes D.C. a beautiful and robust garden.

The market takes place once a month and always on a Sunday.
