Launching May 22, the Grand Rapids Downtown Market will host a once-monthly pop-up marketplace to feature solely Michigan-made-and-grown goods, including home decor, furniture and art, as well as locally produced food and farm fresh produce.
Lasting through September, the pop-up marketplace will take place on the fourth Sunday of each month under the Market Shed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
President and CEO of the Downtown Market, Mimi Fritz, says by launching the Michigan Pop-Up Marketplace, the Downtown Market can provide resources and opportunities to small-time artisans and artists looking for a low barrier of entry to consumers.
“There is no shortage of creativity in West Michigan, and as we look to build on the mission of the Downtown Market, we are working to create more accessibility to artisan products whether they be in the form of food, art or function,” Fritz says.
