In Season: August 3, 2019

August 2, 2019 2:22 pm

We have almost 60 vendors selling a vibrant and delicious selection of Michigan-grown produce, farm products, flowers + plants, and handmade artisan goods. Come treat yourself + your senses to a leisurely stroll through the Market. Open until 2!

The Rapidian's Nonprofits section features stories written directly by local nonprofits about their work. These stories reflect their perspectives, not The Rapidian's editorial voice.

We've been having a blast at our Summer Nights at the Market concert + event series and would love for you to join us at our fifth event, this upcoming Tuesday night, 5-8p!

Enjoy live music sponsored by 20 Monroe Live, with Michigan bands Bad Astley and Lipstick Jodi taking the Headhouse stage at 6 and 7, respectively. Take a stroll down the Market and you'll discover Michigan produce (it's peak season so berries, corn, and tomatoes are in season!), local food products, flowers + plants, and artisan vendors, two cash bars serving up beer from Brewery Vivant and cider from The People's Cider Co., a food truck rally (with a rotating selection of food trucks + beverage carts), and fun kids activities hosted by UICA.

The event is FREE to attend + family friendly so bring out the kiddos or if you're kiddo-free, plan a fun date night or a night out with friends.
