Flower Day Eastern Market

• Market Entry – Fastest Route

  Categories: Eastern Market Detroit Michiga Comments Off on Market Entry – Fastest Route
  Market Entry FASTEST WAY IN

  During Flower Day and other high traffic weekends.

  Most visitors exit I-75 then immediately make a left turn on Mack. This route could take 20-30 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic to eventually snake around and finally get into the market.

  There is a much faster way:

  1 – Exit I-75 then shoot straight across Mack.

  2 – Stay on the service drive (1minute).

  3 – Make LEFT turn at first street (Wilkins).

  4 – You’ll be in the market center in 3 minutes.

  So, while others are sitting in the long lines, you have found the first available parking space and shopping the market:)

  Using this route for many years. One crowed weekend I used this method and as soon as I crossed Russell two cars were pulling out, I jumped right into a prime spot right in front of the Eastern Marker office building.
