Local makers, the river, and a Saturday afternoon. Hit this, then walk the Monroe North strip for a late lunch.
Open air and free. Kids do fine at makers markets | there is always someone selling something on a stick.
Monroe North gets a Saturday bump. Pairs with the Sunset Cinema crowd later the same night | a genuine double-shift day downtown.
Merchants and Makers sets up at 6th Street Park on Saturday, August 22 from 1 PM as part of the Return to the River series.
6th Street Park sits on the Grand River at the north edge of downtown, next to the historic 6th Street bridge. Expect West Michigan makers, food vendors, and river views. Free entry.
