Metro Detroit Events This Week: May 18–24, 2026

Memorial Day weekend is here and Metro Detroit's market scene is running full speed. From Eastern Market to downtown Northville to Birmingham's Sunday market, there is something worth showing up for every day this week.

Eastern Market Flower Tuesday │ Tuesday, May 19 │ Detroit Eastern Market's lower-key alternative to Flower Day — seasonal flowers and plants from Michigan growers in Sheds 5 and 6, with smaller crowds and easier parking than the big event. A strong stop for gardeners and anyone refreshing their porch or patio for the season. 2934 Russell St., Detroit, MI 48207 │ 9am–3pm 

Ann Arbor Farmers Market │ Wednesday, May 20 │ Ann Arbor A producers-only market with a serious mix of handmade goods, specialty food, ceramics, candles, body care, jewelry, and more alongside fresh produce. One of the cleanest buy-local environments in the region. 315 Detroit St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104 │ 7am–3pm 

Northville Farmers Market │ Thursday, May 21 │ Northville A community farmers and artisan market with fresh seasonal offerings from Michigan growers, vendors, and artisans — flowers, produce, honey, plants, handcrafted goods, baked treats, food trucks, live music, and a rotating nonprofit booth.

Northville Spring Flower Sale │ Friday May 22 & Saturday May 23 │ Northville A Memorial Day weekend outdoor market on Main and Center Streets featuring locally grown flowers and plants, artisans, food trucks, and live music. One of the strongest special-event opportunities of the week — downtown street setting, holiday-weekend timing, and a crowd in a spending mood. Main St. & Center St., Northville, MI │ Friday 11am–6pm │ Saturday 9am–3pm 

Eastern Market Saturday Market │ Saturday, May 23 │ Detroit The region's biggest weekly market — up to 45,000 shoppers passing through on a Saturday.

Free admission with a Metropark pass required. This is not a general vendor fair — it is an art-forward destination event where quality and originality are the standard. Worth the drive. Maple Beach, Kensington Metropark, Milford, MI 48380 │ 10am–6pm both days 

Farmington Farmers Market │ Saturday, May 23 │ Farmington One of the most maker-rich weekly markets in Metro Detroit with a confirmed artisan roster featuring ceramics, candles, bath and skin care, handmade soap, photography, and specialty foods including macarons, toffee, hot sauce, and more.

Detroit Diaspora Day Fest │ Sunday, May 24 │ Detroit A 12-hour culture-led festival at The Norwood featuring a marketplace, pop-up art show, food, music, and vendors selling fashion, jewelry, wellness, and cultural goods.
