DETROIT, Mich. — Roughly 200 small business owners set up shop at Eastern Market in Detroit for the latest All Things Detroit Market, a twice-a-year event that puts local makers in front of holiday shoppers.
Vendors brought handmade goods, custom art and other one-of-a-kind gifts to the market, which organizers pitch as an experience built around community and helping local families earn a living rather than a simple shopping trip.
Sellers who work these events said the public rarely sees the hours of preparation behind each booth, and shoppers at the market said they came out to back small, family-run shops at a time when many businesses are closing.
For those who missed it, the All Things Detroit Market comes back in the spring.
Eastern Market keeps a busy calendar through the holidays. Its regular Saturday Market runs from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., a Thanksgiving food shopping day is set for Nov. 24, and Holiday Market 2026 opens Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving local vendors more chances to reach buyers before the end of the year.
