Went to purchase flowers and there was a lot to choose from. Just happened to get there late in the afternoon. Most vendors reduced their prices by 30% or more. Beautiful selection and great prices.

We visited during the annual flower festival. Too bad we couldn't buy any plants due to our long trip, otherwise the festival was a haven for anyone looking to restock their garden. Food was cheap and great (catfish anyone?), various vendors selling unique stuff (praying mantis eggs, lady bugs, metal scrap decorations, etc)., rock climbing - a good 2 hours... More

I can't believe I've never reviewed EM. I'm a huge fan and have been coming down for years - yes, even before the farm to table, locally sourced craze hit Detroit. That being said - every year it seems to get a bit more crowded. But I don't mind. I love to see the folks from the suburbs making their... More

We went on a bus tour to the Easter Market for flower day. It was a perfect day. The weather was wonderful and we had a lot of time to view all of the booths from flowers, baked goods, vegetables, crafts, etc. So much to choose from and great prices. We also had time to visit the nearby stores selling... More

We went on a chilly April morning, but the sun was shining and it was a great outing. We started with breakfast at Russell St Deli - busy but worthwhile. The market has everything - produce, flowers, spice vendors... There are interesting shops, restaurants with live music. It is easy to spend several hours exploring the market area.

I live a couple of hours from Eastern Market and make it a point to go there several times a year. It is a unique place full of life and entrepreneurship. If you have any space in which you grow anything, this is the place to get it. The prices are usually fair, but you can dicker with many of... More

We have been to Eastern Market twice - once on Flower Day in early May, and once in March. Flower Day is definitely an experience, so many flowers and vendors and so many people. Get there early for parking. On a "normal" Saturday there are a number of sheds with many vendors. We wandered through all of the sheds with... More

The best time to see the market is in the spring, during the festival. The road are blocked, there is live music. Out door grilling and the smell of barbecued meat permeates through the market while crowds are gathered on the street shopping for flowers, plants, and good food. But coming to visit even in the dead of winter still... More

Delicious food pretty much ensures that I will have a good time, and Eastern Market did not disappoint. There was a great vibe with people everywhere, even in January (although it was an unseasonably warm day). The market vendors themselves are in "Sheds." One shed seemed to have predominately vendors who were selling produce they grew themselves and some food... More
