Pair the Thursday market with a Reeds Lake walk and a Gaslight Village coffee. A proper slow morning.
Morning hours, easy parking, restrooms on site, and the library and park in walking distance. Built for a kid morning.
Small and residential | not a fare generator, but the Gaslight Village stretch stays busy through lunch on market days.
The East Grand Rapids Farmers Market runs Thursdays from 8:30 AM to 1 PM through August 27, in the north parking lot of the EGR Community Center at 750 Lakeside Drive SE.
The location is the draw: walking distance to the Kent District Library branch, Gaslight Village, and John Collins Park on Reeds Lake. Produce, baked goods, and prepared food from West Michigan vendors.
