Come see why Charleston’s year-round Capitol Market is a vibrant part of West Virginia’s capital city. Tucked in a turn-of-the-century train station, the indoor-outdoor market offers an exciting mix of farm goodness and specialty shops. Pick up seasonal goods to enjoy now and WV-made gifts to take home. Enjoy seafood, sushi or just-carved meat from the butcher. Order soup, salad or a sandwich from one of the many lunch hot spots, or pop in to a lively Italian restaurant for a sit-down meal. Grab a coffee while you shop and artisan chocolates, exotic cheeses and wine to enjoy later at home. They’ll remind you of a great day spent at the market!
As a non-profit, our mission to support small businesses, lift up local farmers, and create a community space for all, can be seen in action every day at Capitol Market. Keep up with it all, like our programs, pop-ups, fundraisers, and happenings with our Capitol Market businesses and farmers, by following us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
