/Downtown Market
This Saturday, the Made in MI Pop-Up Marketplace returns to the Grand Rapids Downtown Market, with more than 50 entrepreneurs, artisans and artists in the Outdoor Market Shed. The Made in MI Pop-Up Marketplace features Michigan-made goods for sale, including home decor, jewelry, clothing and art as well as food items and plants.
More than 50 vendors will be present for the first event of the summer on May 26, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Vendors for the 2018 season include local favorites Mulder Studio, Lions & Rabbits, Happy Camper, Dime & Regal, Wander & Gather, River Babe Threads and many more.
The Made in MI Pop-Up Marketplace aligns with the Downtown Market’s mission to be a dynamic public space for all people that provides access to local food, improves community health and is a platform for entrepreneurship and jobs in the city of Grand Rapids.
“Michiganders have such strong pride in their state and commitment to buying local, and Grand Rapids in particular has become recognized as a destination for makers, artisans and entrepreneurs,” said Amanda Gielczyk, director of marketing and special events. “The Downtown Market is committed to providing resources and opportunities for these entrepreneurs, and providing them a platform to connect with consumers.”
The Made in Michigan Pop-Up Marketplace continues through the fourth Saturday of each month, with future dates including June 23, July 28, August 25 and September 22.
