The outdoor markets that grew foot traffic and brought fresh retail activity to Downtown Detroit last winter will return this spring and summer.

More than 50 entrepreneurs, artists and small businesses will be chosen to set up booths for their businesses for five months. Quicken Loans and Bedrock Detroit are running the program.

The markets will run from April to September and will focus on food, beverage and art vendors. Anyone interested can apply online through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 18.

"We are continuing to use this market strategy as a unique way to give these local entrepreneurs an opportunity to sell their products and showcase their brands," said Francesca George, director of tenant relations and experience at Bedrock, in a news release.

"We will continue to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience throughout the city with new dining, beverage, retail and entertainment options."

From November 2017 through January, 38 businesses set up pop-up shops in Detroit's Capitol Park, Cadillac Square, 1001 Woodward and Spirit Plaza. The businesses generated more than $2 million in sales, according to organizers.

Winter market vendors ranged from customized jewelry, clothing boutiques, specialty popcorn and more.

Vendors for the spring and summer market will be announced on Thursday, March 22.
