About Eastern Market

Detroit's Eastern Market — a 43-acre historic public market open since 1891 — transforms on Saturday mornings into one of the Midwest's greatest pre-game fan experiences, with Michigan and MSU alumni, Red Wings fans, and Detroit Lions supporters loading up on Michigan produce, artisan cheese, and local craft beer for tailgate parties. The market's shed murals celebrate Detroit's resilience in vivid colour, and the surrounding restaurant district makes it an all-morning fan social event. On Lions Sunday home games, the market-to-tailgate pipeline is a beloved Detroit tradition.
