There are lots of great shops popping up all over Detroit and beginning this month holiday shoppers will be able to find more of them in one place at the Downtown Detroit Markets.
The temporary markets, open from mid-November to early January, will feature a variety of gift-worthy items from jewelry, clothing and custom treats to toboggans.
The holiday season is a critical time for Detroit’s small businesses, so TheHUB is encouraging everyone to get out and shop the Market.
The Downtown Detroit Markets will open at 1001 Woodward Avenue, Cadillac Square, and Capitol Park. Vendors include:
