Early morning visitors at the Holland Farmer's Market on 8th Ave.
Thank you to today’s Guest Blogger, Diane Loew for sharing a little about the expected and the unexpected finds at the local Farmer’s Market.
Fall in Michigan, my favorite time of the year. I especially love the Farmer’s Market, is there a better place to shop?
As the seasons change, so does the market. It is full of sensory overload. My Farmer’s Market of choice is Holland’s Farmer’s Market.
It’s time to “Do The D,” according to Inside Detroit—this downtown welcome center offers tours that can be tailored to any interest, including African American history, churches, architecture and pub crawls. Tina Lassen, a contributing writer for Michigan Travel Ideas, writes about her tour that inspired Motown Remastered, a feature in this year’s guide.
Campus Martius
Our tour starts in Campus Martius Park (less than two blocks from Inside Detroit’s headquarters) on Woodward Avenue. This green space sports plenty of cafe tables and chairs—popular with the lunchtime crowd—and a stage for musical entertainment. Many of the buildings in the downtown area are treasures, but you wouldn’t necessarily realize that from walking past. The Guardian Building, on Griswold, between Larned and Congress, is an Art Deco marvel of tile and Tiffany glass.

While in Royal Oak, we attended many local events including the now-defunct Detroit Cityfest, the Clay & Glass Show, and the world’s biggest garage sale. And on Saturdays, we got our produce at the Farmers Market.
Eastern Market is one of Detroit’s greatest treasures – thanks to blogger Jen Waters for sharing some of her discoveries!
I just moved back to Detroit from Chicago and my first order of business as a born-again Detroiter was to go to Eastern Market for the first time on Saturday. As farmers markets become the new grocery stores across the country, Detroit has maintained the largest public market in the country for 119 years. This is no trend. This is a huge, established market with hundreds of vendors that set up shop in the middle of a culturally bustling neighborhood. Read more…
