Downtown Petoskey, Michigan is one of the most treasured downtowns in the United States. Nestled on the shores of Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan, residents and tourists enjoy over 170 unique shops and fine restaurants in the famous Gaslight Shopping District. The downtown area of Petoskey, Michigan serves as a hub for resorters from Bay Harbor, Bay View, Harbor Springs, Walloon Lake and the surrounding Emmet County region. 

Downtown Petoskey has authentic charm and vitality that is unmatched by almost any city its size. We look forward to your next visit when you can discover all of our treasures… from the shores to the stores.

Downtown Petoskey is the home to many great events no matter what the season. From our Summer Concerts in the Park to Friday Farm Markets to art fairs and festivals, Petoskey is a great place to join in the fun while shopping with our local merchants.

Beginning June 22 and continuing every Friday through the September, from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, the block of Howard Street between Mitchell and Michigan Streets (between JC Penney's and Julienne Tomatoes) will be closed off to welcome local producers and the bounty of fresh items that they have to offer. Stop by and find everything that you would need for a wonderful meal, from organic meats to fresh fruits and vegetables, and even flowers to finish off the table.  The Downtown Petoskey Farmers Market is sponsored by the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The mission of the Downtown Petoskey Farmers Market is to promote the image and economic development of Downtown Petoskey and economic development within the local agricultural community, as well as to give those who grow, fish, forage, and harvest a place to be rewarded for their efforts.
