What a wonderful, cultural experience for anyone! Just browsing the many building of the market was a treat with the colors of flowers, fruits and homemade food. Live musicians played at various spots throughout the market and outside the market buildings vendors sold fun souvenirs, jewelry and other items. We spent about 2 hours at the market & ate at...

If you are within 100 miles of Eastern market on the edge of downtown Detroit you owe it to yourself to take some time on a Saturday and visit this island of agricultural commerce in the heart of Detroit. We will visit it a couple of times a year even though it is 90 miles from Lansing where we live.... More

A delight for spring and summer gardeners with the best array of garden plants and flowers, as well as seasonally fresh local veggies and fruits. Bring along your eclectic appetites... More

Eastern Market sprawls for several blocks in Downtown Detroit- it is big, chaotic and confusing to navigate, but very, very fun and excellent for bargains on live plants, produce and wholesale meats. It opens at 6am on SATURDAYS ONLY and features local Michigan farmers selling their goods in an open-air environment at bargain prices. Perfect for cutting out the middle-man... More
