Went here to have a potential wedding and was less than impressed. No private rooms, shared bathrooms with the public, people walking around in the background, planner person was very off-putting, wedding comes as a take it or leave package with little flexibility due to covid. Just doesnt seem like a great wedding venue.

Such a cute little place. I got some indoor plants.

Such a unique venue for diverse artists to reach the public. Always something new and interesting to look at.really appreciate the no pressure sales people who just allow you to appreciate their art.

Love this market. Tons of local artists/shops with unique goods to choose from.

The individual boutiques of crafts vendors or vintage resellers have great things to check out and there I also had found some very unusual things at PAINTED LADY TRASHIONS

So many unique wears! Beautiful jewelry vendors and the plants are fab!

First time here. Such unique shops. Cool place

Absolutely love this place. So many cool michigan,local finds. And they have a bar and a plant shop inside. Its so unique tht I just keep going back for more everytime I visit my family back home.

Very unique gathering of different merchants. My wife and I will make it a must stop when we visit Ferndale.

I love visiting the Rust Belt Market! I enjoy walking through and seeing each vendors new products and displays. I appreciate the variety of products that the market has to showcase and I love buying family and friends gifts unique to them from this spot! It is also so much fun to visit during the holidays ️

All kinds of unique things to wear or decorate your space with.

This is a gem in the heart of Ferndale! Theres a great little corner bar if you get thirsty and a really nice little cheese and meat counter if youre hungry. Then there are just so many talented artists displaying and selling their work. There were so many interesting items It was hard to decide what to spend my money on. I really liked this ceramics and jewelery artist that I am posting photos of her booth. They have a great common meeting area in the center. They were broadcasting a live public radio station. They have plenty of parking. I highly recommend a visit to the Rust Belt!

Local artists and businesses all in one converted Old Navy store. Well done Ferndale. A great place for unique presents.

I LOVE this place.. so many original pieces of art

Great stuff. all about Detroit

Cool place they didnt have the items I went for told me I could order on line but still bought a couple other items cool place

This place is super cool. The unique, locally-made goods you can find here make this a must-see spot for when out of towners would come to visit me. I need to make a trip to Ferndale just so that I can get a re-up on those incredible candles!

I really likethis place all kind of useful items. Not happy with the prices but it is convenient location.

Cool hidden gem, lots of great things.

Great place to browse for one of a kind items. Great to find gifts

Awesome place to go for the holidays! Lots of awesome artists and a bar, nice event space too.

It was a great little venue! It had a cute little bar area and I loved the floor in the very tidy womens restroom lol. We were there to see Mortified Detroit... love, love, loved it!

Great market made up of several small businesses. A really nice bar next door but no food vendors. They have this beautiful large space to rent and there was a wedding reception held and it was adorable! Really neat place to pick up several trinkets for personal, home or office.

Awesome place to look at local artists and craft.

This place is AWESOME. I live in oak park and ride pass this place everyday and never knew what it was. Small shop with local vendors. Definitely will return...

Ive only ever been here for a Wedding. I know what youre thinking, A WEDDING!?!—yes a wedding, and it was pretty snazzy, so I would say if youre looking for a venue for your wedding or reception definitely look into what this place has to offer.I did do some walking around here before the wedding started and while all of the businesses were still open—and I must say that I really do wish there were more places like this to help small independent businesses be seen and succeed. Everyone here was very friendly and the over all environment was very warm and inviting (it also smells good). The place overall is also clean and very well taken care of (yes, even the bathrooms).There is also a HUGE bonus if youre an adult, and like to partake in adult activities like consuming adult beverages. There. Is. A. Full. BAR! And yes that means what you think it does. You can drink and shop simultaneously! Exciting right?I would say that literally the only downfall of this place is that it is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But I totally understand why that is, and thats okay.Also be sure to check out the Poison Dart Frog enclosure by the bar and bathroom area and see if you can spot any of the Frogs inside. Its pretty cool, and definitely a unique thing to come across at a place like this.I plan on coming here as much as I can in the future. Cheers!

Wonderful venue for the wedding of 2 unique, creative & beautiful artists

Tres chic! look for Holly to make you individualized jewelry And unique pieces at RARE BITS !!!

Great social setting, their game night on Monday is a real highlight.

2 of my fav vendors are in here. I do wish there were more POC businesses there.

One of our families favorite hangouts. We walk, shop, eat, drink in a totally casual atmosphere of local vendors and artists. Great place to bring out of town friends to get a taste of the Detroit suburbs. Love Ferndale.. Its a really cool city on its own anyway but this place is a gem. Make sure to check out the outside bar open on the weekends. Lots of tropical plants and cushiony seating to rest in the shade and watch the cars go by. Oh and for the folks who dont partake in alcohol they had some delicious bottled root beer..yum!

Super eclectic and friendly artists with something for every sort!

Cool spot to walk around and looks at fun locally made things from small vendors. Good way to support artists and entrepreneurs. They have a bar inside and a cool event space.

This is a great place for tourist. If you looking for one of a kind gift. This is the place, local artisans, and artists. My pet peeves is I dont like seeing these artist fidgeting on their phone. I get it that foot traffic is hard to predict. I just find it less engaging when they do that. I digressed, this place is an oasis of small local people who makes wonderful things. Also theres a bar so whats not to love?

Hadnt been inside this spot since I had a boutique here when they first opened. Love the current look. It definitely has evolved. Wonderful artists and entrepreneurs plus a nice bar!

Local Michigan artists showcased in one place. Think unique gifts for the hard to buy for! I love finding unique treasures here. All price points - and you often get to meet the artists.

Very cool collection of local merchants and unique items. There is a TON of different and fun stuff here. Even a bar so you can have a drink while shopping. Even a radio station!

Unique and talented vendors with awesome conversation. Beautiful jewelry and clothing and bath products that smell an feel like luxury. Really enjoyed myself

Great shops with a decent bar.

We recently photographed a wedding here at the Rust Belt Market and couldnt be happier with our experience. Our couple, their guests and all the vendors were treated with nothing but kindness by the staff and the atmosphere was a joy to spend the evening in.

Not at all what I was expecting but pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to be like a typical farmers market but was very happy to discover that its mostly artists and creators that man the many sections of the market. There is jewelry, tshirts, soaps and artwork just to start. So many different unique things in there Im looking forward to going back. There is also a bar in there so that was a cool idea too. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you are able to.

A variety of boutique vendors. We bought premium chocolate and cheese at one vendor, air plants at another.

Super cute and interesting market to walk around with awesome shops. SO worth the visit.

Thank you for supporting local. Great spot to grab a beer.

I really enjoyed visiting the Rust Belt Market. They have a good variety of vendors selling everything from art, apparel, plants, and cheese! Definately a good stop if you are walking around downtown Ferndale.

Horrible experience to say the least. Drove 3 hours to finally shop here after hearing good things. Yet these people from ACLU Michigan were ruining the experience for me and many others. NO ONE WANTS TO BE HASSELED AND BERATED ABOUT VOTING AND REGISTERING TO VOTE FROM HOME! The guy was extremely rude and condescending if you didnt sign up. It made me feel very uncomfortable. I will not be returning if this is what all your events are like. I didnt even get to enjoy myself and left early since these people ruined my day and it looked like many others as well. Note to rust belt. Keep politics out of your store!

This is a cool spot if you like to support local businesses. You can find a variety of this here of which a majority are bath & body products, jewelery, clothing & accessories and cool art.They also have a little bar area in the back if you want to grab drinks. Dogs are allowed inside which is always a plus in my book :)Worth checking out and discovering local businesses

Interesting collection of small artist items, ranging from soap to art to clothing. Some very interesting items. Would be a great place for a holiday gift for someone who has everything.

Very cool place in Ferndale. Love all the unique vendors. Mostly hand made items sold by local artisans.

Love this place, always has events with a fun crowd. It’s a great place to support local artisans. If in Ferndale it’s a must do.

Lots of cool stuff at the Rust Belt Market.

OOOOOOOH MY A MUST GOOO PLACE VERY TALENTED VENDORS PLENTY TO SEEToday i went to ferndale and went to my spot again i love that they switch out vendors the atmosphere 8s cool and peaceful

So much awesome stuff and local artists too ️ so great to get quality things and support local businesses

Very cool place! My family and I visited. They have a little something for everybody. Had good conversations with a few of the shop owners and they seem to enjoy it too. A lot of them have charities that some of the purchases go to. I wish they were open more often but it’s a great spot to go if you’re in the area during the weekend.

Had my wedding here and Christina was amazing. She just kept on top of everything I needed for the wedding. The venue was beautiful and perfect. The reason this is a 4 star is because there was a bartender there that night from Rust Belt that everyone felt was so rude and unaccommodating. He was a taller gentleman that wore a Hawaiian shirt. He just gave a attitude to a lot of my guests to the point where I heard all about it the next day.

The Rust Belt Market is an innovative combination of artistic shops, coffee shop, bar, and event space all under one roof. It is an evolving hub of activity in the Ferndale community. A beautifully designed and unique experience that will appeal to all!

Fun place to meet friends or walk you dog. Nice little bar in the inside with friendly people

Amazing Maker space. Local talent with awesome items! We drive over an hour just to wander through.

Handmade Detroit items and air plants, the perfect place to wander through on a weekend

Amazing and unique finds! All local artisans!

Fun place to go! A large variety of handmade items. Lots if nice retro clothes. I can spend the day there!

Great selection of man made everythings. Etsy embodied in a touch sensitive shop. My friend from art school is still here after a few years, & a plethora of new artists & resellers cycle through. I spent plenty, & perused more. Happy with different selections.

The only reason Im not giving them 5 stars is because I wish they had extended hours. I absolutely love Rustbelt. If you have yet to explore, definitely take some time and check it out. So many different unique and creative vendors and artists. They also throw awesome events like vintage fashion shops and so much more... absolutely love it.

A great Ferndale venue to support local merchants, artists, and more. Owners and associates there are insightful and gratefully welcome your patronage. Picked up this cool-looking plant at Lady Lazarus and would recommend everyone visit this eclectically cool bazzar.

So many awesome vendors to select from.Beautiful inside and out.Must see!

Very cool place . Very good prices

Great space and great makers.always find something good. I also like that you can grab a drink while you shop

I liked the different little shops. I purchased a couple pieces from Tooth & Nail jewelry oddities. Loved the atmosphere and the people were super friendly!

Eclectic blend of unique, hard to find items. I love this market!

First time there for a wedding Nov 2019. Excellent food and staff, cool ambiance, need more parking.

Found unique gift ideas and very cool Halloween decorations cut from steel. Great stopping experience.

Great place to grab a drink, support local artists, and pet dogs. I’ve also been to events here and they are awesome! The Rust Belt represents some of the best things about Ferndale.

This place is the best during the holiday season. I get most of my Christmas presents here. They have a variety of vendors. I know they do private events as well.

An amazing, unique market in Detroit. The ambiance is great and its full of a unique collection of shops with a ton of original art ranging from clothing to paintings to metal or woodwork. Well worth a visit if youre in Detroit!

Love it here. Many fun and unique vendors. Oh, and the bathrooms are super clean -a bonus for someone with IBD like myself.

Cool place to see small local artists shops/businesses. My kids love it too.

It was amazing...alot of the items were handmade authentic can be custom made and absolutely beautiful..i got myself a choker and my sister a ring made with glass and im getting a custom made business card holder..atmospher is laid back quiet inviting friendly and jus overall great place to visit.. Go check them out u will find something that will amaze u

Hyper local at its finest.

This place is super fun to check out, it’s like a flea market except not sketchy. They have some cool Michigan owned businesses here.

Beautifully designed and aesthetically organized. The central area is just beyond real! Lots of everyday things to buy ranging from a fridge magnet to big tables. The guy who designs and builds wood tables, consoles and other furniture on metal frames is very talented I felt, including his wall hangings. People from Canada, according to him, buy his products. Must visit if you are in the area. Not overly expensive, except of course the tables or other furniture, but I still felt some things were a bit pricey for the market!

A wonderful way to spend a few hours, with an eclectic array of unique vendors, makers, and artisans inside.

Cute little place to shop and look But there was no one at the pyrex booth !

Lots of little stores. Great for unique gifts and items you didnt know u needed

A lot of great items to shop for. Nice and cozy.

Beautiful venue for our daughters wedding. The staff were great, everything came together well.

A fabulous collection of local goods. Great place for gifts and unique items.

They must have stopped by if in Ferndale. Some interesting fun shopping

I love the Rust Belt market. I love both of the plant stores that have spaces in there. They always have what I need, and are competitively priced.

Love the eclectic mix that is constantly in flux. Bathroom art is entertaining.

Awesome place to hang out. Shop .and have a drink. At bar. Then head across the street to fly trap. Awesome. Lunch /breakfast.spot

Great little one of a kind shops

This is a fun place to go! Dog friendly and I can usually find random antiques and oddities that I love! Heather always has fun new items in her shop.

We love shopping at Rust Belt but especially the specialty lotions at Burton and Levy

Quaint eccentric market where you can buy unique, handmade, vintage goods. They also have a happening bar to relax after shopping to your hearts content!

Interesting wheres interesting location. Prices for most of the stuff is a little high but thats because a lot of it is handmade and that carries with it a higher price tag. The creators of the items take great pride in their work and thats evident by the fact that they are also running the shops and not hiring out to other people. If you have the money for some of their pieces I do recommend stopping by taking a look its all very unique and one-of-a-kind.

Awesome little shopping center. Lots of variety.

WOW! Understated building but once you walk in youre blown away. What an extremely cool space with local artists!! I will totally be back. I wonder if theres a calendar they use the open space for, if for community events or something of that sort. Must see!!!!!

Very small for a wedding reception BUT ALL BARTENDERS ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Especially with helping my girlfriend, who rarely drinks, find a drink she would enjoy, will definitely be going back for an early evening drink!

Quirky shops and fun to visit but I rarely buy anything.

Excellent place to experience the unique side of retail!! Its community based and always has something interesting and one of a kind to offer.
