435 IONIA AVE SWGRAND RAPIDS, MI 49503Located at the southern edge of downtown Grand Rapids, the Downtown Market sits on 3.5 acres, just South of Wealthy Street and adjacent to US 131. The Downtown Market offers 200+ parking on-site spaces and is steps away from The Rapid fixed-route system and the Silver Line, Michigan’s first bus rapid transit system.
The Downtown Market is a mixed-use facility that brings together production, distribution, marketing, and education, all about local food. It features a 25-vendor Market Hall, 2 full-service restaurants, incubator kitchen, rooftop greenhouses, kid-friendly teaching kitchen, and beautiful special event spaces.
