Detroit has always been the heart of music and culture. The Live6 Alliance along with Detroit’s Urban Organic Lifestyle Marketing have activated and energized a patch of land to create, Market on The Ave., to underscore both music and culture in the context of a farmers market, tapping into the talents of residents from the area as well as regional and national talents.
Market On The Ave. located at 16647 Livernois between Grove and Florence streets, occurs every second and fourth Saturday from noon – 5 p.m. The series continues through the end of Oct.
Crystal Coleman of Urban Organic Lifestyle Marketing, publicist for the market says, “Live6 Detroit views this market as much more than a gathering place, but also as a hub or an economic engine of sorts. It is a way to highlight the vendors and artists who live in the Live6 service area.”
Market on The Ave. features live music, local fair, art from Detroit’s own such as Joel Fluent Greene, and national talents to Grammy nominated talents like Anthony David. There are local makers, farmers and fare on hand as well as, family and child-centered activities.
Live6 Alliance is a nonprofit planning and development organization whose mission is to enhance quality of life and economic opportunity in Northwest Detroit. Live6 is a one-stop shop for authentic, inclusive neighborhood revitalization with a particular focus on the Livernois and McNichols corridors.
