Downtown Detroit Markets to re-open for winter season November 13

Just in time for the holidays, the Downtown Detroit Markets are set to return for a third consecutive year.

Sponsored by Bedrock and the Quicken Loans Community Fund, the markets feature local vendors selling goods out of glass sheds in Cadillac Square and Capitol Park. They’ll open November 13 and go through January 1.

Seventeen businesses will be participating, from streetwear brands and artmakers to bath products and food producers. Four of the vendors are part of Quicken’s “Demo Day Market”—winners of an annual entrepreneurship competition who receive additional mentorship and support.

The family-owned nursery Greystone Gardens will also be selling Christmas trees, wreaths, and holiday greenery out of the Capitol Park market.

“Year after year, the Downtown Detroit Markets have supported inclusivity, vibrancy, and resiliency all across the city by building connections between local entrepreneurs and the growing retail market in downtown Detroit,” Laura Grannemann, vice president of strategic investments for the Quicken Loans Community Fund, said in a release.

The Cadillac Lodge will also be making a return. This large, covered event space will feature more local goods, including beverages from Eastern Market Brewing Co. and Blake’s Hard Cider. It’s also available for private rental.

The markets and lodge will be open every day of the week except Monday and Tuesday.
