Eastern Market is one of Detroit's most beloved destinations – home to the nation's largest historic public market, with Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday markets drawing thousands of visitors each week. First Wednesdays brings that same electric, open-air energy to Wednesday evenings. From July through September 2026, the district comes alive from 6 to 9 PM with music, food, drinks, art, and the kind of spontaneous discovery that makes Eastern Market unlike anywhere else in Detroit.
