What a Gem Eastern Market is and has always been for the community of Detroit. Giving local artists, farmers, creatives, and everyone in between a space to exercise community is starting to become a not so rare commodity in Detroit but it used to be! And Eastern Market has been a pioneer in making that a reality and setting the blueprint for similar spaces to coexist. Whether you’re getting fish from the local market or buying a piece of art hand painted from the local artist, you get to have a front row seat in the resurgence of Detroit in real time. This all inclusive space holds equity in diversity, allowing all facets of class, race, intellect, and social cultures alike the opportunity to come together and trade joy, smiles, conversations, and maybe even a phone number or two as I repeatedly say Detroit has thee best looking people I’ve ever seen. Not to mention it’s very safe as cops are everywhere all the time but not in the Big Brother feel, for once it feels like they finally have a genuine interest in the safety of our community. The pics you’ll find associated with this post is from Eastern Market After Dark 2025, highlighting one of the many events hosted in a space that truly exalts coming together above anything else. I truly hope you find the time to visit and support this Detroit gem!
