Michigan Fair: Great Deals at Any Time of Year in Downtown Marquette
Looking for some after-Christmas deals on quality products? Put away that computer and head to Michigan Fair, one of downtown Marquette’s most popular retailers. Who needs Amazon when you can shop local?
What Is Michigan Fair?
Michigan Fair has been a fixture in downtown Marquette since 1990. The store specialized in selling locally made and sourced products before it was cool, catering to locals, tourists and NMU parents alike. These days, places like Michigan Made Beer Wine & More uphold the shop-local tradition, but Michigan Fair remains a Marquette original.
Like many Washington Street storefronts, Michigan Fair is cozy. But it has possibly the highest density of artisanal and locally crafted products in Marquette’s city limits. Before you stop by, check out its regularly updated Facebook page for the latest arrivals and deals.
