A New Era for Eastern Market: Here’s What’s Next
Big Change Ahead!
After nearly two decades at the helm, Dan Carmody is passing the torch.
Come early 2025, Katy Trudeau will step in as Eastern Market’s new leader.
Let’s talk about Dan for a second. Since 2007, this guy has been the driving force behind turning a 132-year-old market into Detroit’s ultimate food hub. He didn’t just manage the market—he transformed it.
- Small businesses? They THRIVED.
- Fresh food? Reached more people than ever.
- Community? Found a place to gather, shop, and connect.
Dan’s leadership made Eastern Market what it is today: a bustling hub that’s all about food, people, and growth.
But, now—it’s Katy’s turn.
Who’s Katy Trudeau?
She’s no stranger to Detroit.
Before joining Eastern Market last year, Katy was Deputy Director of Planning at Detroit’s City Hall. She managed BIG projects and knows the ins and outs of how this city ticks. Housing & Revitalization? Planning? She’s done it all.
And now, she’s bringing that expertise to Eastern Market.
What’s Next For Eastern Market?
Let’s be real: Eastern Market isn’t just a place—it’s an institution.
- Every week, it’s PACKED with shoppers.
- Local vendors? Building success stories daily.
- And the vibe? Unmatched.
With Katy stepping in, the market’s future is in solid hands. She’s ready to lead while keeping everything you LOVE about the market intact.
So whether you’re there for the fresh produce, the small businesses, or just the good energy, one thing’s for sure—Eastern Market will keep nourishing Detroit.
New leader. Same roots. Bigger possibilities.
