Detroit Sunday Eastern Market

One event I like to participate in on Saturday morning is going to Eastern Market.  A benefit to living in downtown Detroit is being so close to Eastern Market that I can go every week to get my fruits and vegetables.  I enjoy seeing all the people come out and support the local community of farmers.  The vendors have a lot of passion about their products and most of them will let you sample their food before you buy.  I also like that the food is reasonably priced and most of the time less than the grocery store.  The market is open every Saturday from 7 a.m. till 4 p.m. and on Tuesdays only from July- October 9 a.m. till 3 p.m.  One day that generates a lot of attendance is flower day, which is held in May.  I love going that day because it is absolutely beautiful to see all the flowers and so reasonably priced.  Flowers are never cheap and there you are able to get more for your money.  The market has been such a success they even started one on Sunday this year.

The Sunday street market day is only for a short time during the year; June until the end of September. However this year for the holidays they decided to open on Sundays beginning November 30^th and will run for the next two Sundays after that.  It will include Christmas trees, Santa Claus, food and beverages along with gifts for the holiday season.  I am super excited to be able to check this out in the next couple of weeks and I hope it’s a huge success for the community.  Hopefully the event will be a success and the tradition will continue next year at Eastern Market.  If you have never visited, I hope you will take the time to visit Eastern Market.
