Bustling with as many as 45,000 visitors in a day, the Saturday Market is one of America’s most original destinations for fresh produce, prepared food by local vendors, baked goods, flowers and local art. This market is at the core of our mission to nourish a healthier, wealthier, and happier Detroit. Don’t fact check me, but I once heard it was the largest open air market n the country.

Saturdays, 6AM - 4PM

A 985-acre island park located in the Detroit River near downtown Detroit. The park provides spectacular views of Detroit to the North and Canada to the south. Here you can see axolotls at the aquarium — the oldest aquarium in the continental US!

The Dequindre Cut Greenway is an urban recreational path that opened to the public in May of 2009. The two-mile greenway offers a pedestrian link between the East Riverfront, Eastern Market and several residential neighborhoods in between. Rent a bike, grab a beer, view the art.

The Shepherd is a century-old Romanesque-style church transformed into a cultural arts center with multi-faceted programming. The adaptive reuse of the church, designed by Peterson Rich Office (PRO), includes two exhibition spaces, a public library curated by Asmaa Walton of Black Art Library, a performing arts theater, and workshop space for the community. It’s located on the campus ground of Library Street Collective, that houses other attractions, including a skate park designed by Tony Hawk.

Wednesday - Saturday, 11AM - 5PM

Grab a coffee at Red Hook Greenway before walking the path toward Bristol Park. Bring your pickleball gear in case you’re up for a game at the Campau Park courts. Finish the excursion with some empanadas at Empacho.
