Detroit’s Eastern Market Partnership is gaining attention as travelers increasingly seek authentic food and cultural experiences within the cities they visit.
The historic market welcomes up to 40,000 visitors on a typical Saturday, connecting them with Michigan-grown produce, locally made foods, independent retailers, and Detroit traditions.
Visitors can explore the market’s sheds before discovering the family-owned shops and specialty businesses throughout the surrounding district.
The growing interest in local market tourism creates another opportunity to support Detroit entrepreneurs while introducing more people to the city’s food, culture, and communities.
Eastern Market shows how a longstanding Detroit institution can remain locally rooted while becoming part of a growing travel trend.
