The month and season will be gone in a flash, so don’t miss out on getting a head start on your holiday shopping as well as enjoying all the aromas and flavors this cherished season in the Midwest has to offer.

SHE_____ AND SOURCED DETROIT, PHOTO ALL EVENTS
SHE SOURCED DETROIT
Date: Saturday, October 24 at 1 PM
This list of October markets in Detroit is diverse in the best way. Mark your calendars for a visit at “She Sourced Detroit”. “SHE_____” and Sourced Detroit invite the community to have a pleasant afternoon of finding original and niche items from independent makers. It’s the lingering satisfaction you experienced during summer markets where you found something that felt like mining for gold as well as discovering other oddities that had no real justification for buying, but they were too good and rare to pass up. Every participating brand, collector, designer, and maker is intentionally selected to create an experience that feels less like a marketplace and more like walking into an unforgettable store. A portion of proceeds from SHE Sourced Detroit will benefit InsideOut Literary Arts and its work supporting young writers and creative voices throughout Detroit.

Location: 950 Selden Street, Detroit-Hub (Jefferson Hub)Detroit
