E. Warren Development Corp (EWDC) is excited to host our annual holiday market series on Saturdays through December 17th, from 11 am to 3 pm. The market, which includes DJs, over 30 local vendors, and food trucks, takes place at the historic Cadieux Stage, located at 4925 Cadieux Rd (just south of E. Warren).

The Cadieux Stage, recently purchased and reactivated by Christopher Lee, has an iconic past of supporting Detroit’s automotive and music history including Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, and many other artists.

EWDC launched a Farmers Market in the summer of 2020 and just closed out their third market season in September. The markets have been a way to incubate small businesses, provide technical assistance and coaching, and ultimately put more than $115,000 back into the local community over the past 3 years.

“We’re more than just a market. We’re an intentional community of entrepreneurs,” says EWDC Operations & Special Project Manager Sarah Feldman. “We’ve seen local vendors start from scratch and grow to run brick & mortars and food trucks.”

When asked what the markets mean to Scott from Preva Body, he replied, “Family. Backbone. Support. I've never really seen that in any other organization. Especially as a small Black business owner, we need those resources and that support. “ The support of the community continues to be overwhelmingly positive.

The markets are curated by E. Warren Development Corp., a 501(C)3 organization. To find out more about the markets, E. Warren developments, or for those interested in becoming an EWDC sponsor or advocate, we encourage you to visit https://linktr.ee/ewdc.
