The Detroit Design Festival presents Eastern Market After Dark, a self guided tour of the creative side. Eastern Market is often recognized as the food hub of Detroit, bustling with Saturday morning shoppers, slaughterhouses and specialty grocery stores. After dark a different hustle takes over the neighborhood, a creative movement hidden in lofts, studios and galleries living in the market.
The night tour will open the doors to studios, galleries, artists’ residencies, hacker spaces, shops and letterpress studios. The evening will give guests a chance to explore the market often not experienced. Allowing for a sneak peak into a creative community that works late nights and early mornings to create on every level. The tour will stop at over fifteen locations in the market, opening their doors for workshops, shopping and viewing. Studio doors will open at 7p.m. and close at 11p.m. A free shuttle will be provided to take patrons between centralized locations in the Market. The event is Free and open to all ages.
