Eastern Market After Dark (EMAD)

About

Eastern Market After Dark is a free, all-ages district-wide festival in September — one night when Detroit's 130+ year-old working market transforms into a sprawling night market. 125+ Detroit-area artists, designers, and community organizations fill Shed 2 and spill through storefronts, streets, and the Riverfrontɛ with gallery pop-ups, creative installations, live music on the mainstage, food trucks, and vendor activations. Draws 33,000+ attendees. A signature event of Detroit Month of Design, hosted in partnership with Eastern Market Corporation.
