Magnetic field effects on single-particle energy bands (Hofstadter butterfly), Hall conductance, flat-band ferromagnetism, and magnetoresistance of two-dimensional Kagome lattices are studied. The flat-band ferromagnetism is shown to be broken as the flat-band has finite dispersion in the magnetic field. A metal-insulator transition induced by the magnetic field (giant negative magnetoresistance) is predicted. In the half-filled flat band, the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition and the metal-insulator one occur simultaneously at a magnetic field for strongly interacting electrons. All of the important magnetic fields effects should be observable in mesoscopic systems such as quantum dot superlattices.
