DETROIT –  Detroit's Historic Eastern Market, known to many for its Saturday market tradition, will launch a new Sunday Street Market on June 1 that will run every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through September 28th.

"For over a century, Eastern Market has been pivotal in connecting folks with local fresh produce and plants, serving as an important economic engine for our region," said Dan Carmody, president, Eastern Market Corporation. "The Sunday Street Market seeks to accomplish a similar mission for non-food goods."
