About Eastern Market

Eastern Market is a 43-acre historic public market district about a mile northeast of downtown Detroit, in business at this site since 1891. On Saturdays, year-round, you browse produce, flowers, handmade goods and food from vendors under the old market sheds. More than 150 businesses line the surrounding streets, and you will find art murals on nearly every block, many painted for the Murals in the Market festival.
