Saturday in Detroit starts at Eastern Market. Since 1891, the market’s sheds have overflowed with Michigan produce, flowers, baked goods and more — and for families, a morning here is part grocery run, part festival, part treasure hunt for the perfect apple.
Kids love the samples, the murals splashed across surrounding buildings (Eastern Market is one of the city’s great outdoor galleries) and the hunt for honey sticks and kettle corn. Arrive early for the best selection and easier stroller navigation, then wander the district’s shops and cafes. The adjacent Dequindre Cut makes a natural post-market bike ride down to the riverfront.
The Saturday Market runs year-round at 2934 Russell Street, with additional Sunday and seasonal markets. Check easternmarket.org for hours and special event days before you go.
