Shopping in Detroit: Shop in Detroit!

Detroit Synergy is holding its 5th Annual "Shop Detroit" event for the Holidays to encourage people to explore and support shopping in the City of Detroit! This year, four different shopping areas in Detroit have been highlighted: Downtown, Midtown/New Center, Russell Bazaar, and this weekend on December 20: Eastern Market.

 

The event is from 11 am to 4 pm with Check-in at Shed #4. If you haven't participated in this fun and exciting event, you can do your last minute shopping this Saturday! The Detroit Evolution Lab, featuring organic and locally grown and sustainable foods and health events, will have an open house and food tasting from 2 - 4 pm.
