Eastern Market is a historic commercial district in Detroit. It is located approximately one mile (1.6 km) northeast of the city’s downtown and is bordered on the south by Gratiot Avenue. First open in 1841, the district was expanded significantly in 1921 and presently covers 43 acres (174,000 m). Eastern Market is a selling point for a wide variety of produce, meat, spice and other products. It is particularly busy on Saturdays, when farmers tend to bring in their poultry and livestock, along with fresh produce, for sale.
