Get over the hump with Blocktoberfest!
What better way to conquer a Hump Day than with beer, music, food, games, good cheer, and a chance to win some awesome freebies? And, it is all for a good cause!
Come to Blocktoberfest, the downtown Detroit block party of the Fall! Blow off some mid-week steam and eat, drink, play and shop - all while benefiting the United Way for Southeastern Michigan.
When?
Noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday, September 22
Where?
Lafayette between First and Third Streets in downtown Detroit. Take the People Mover to the Fort/Cass stop, walk one block north to Lafayette and you've arrived!
What?
A slew of local vendors will be selling and promoting their goods and services. Bid on a variety of auction items ranging from restaurants to experiences. During your much-needed break from the office, grab a bite to eat and test your Detroit trivia knowledge. Local celebs like Detroit News and Free Press reporters and columnists will surrender their dignity in a dunk tank, while musical favorites Luther “Badman” Keith, The Gardens, Stash, No Quarter and Rockestra take the stage.
For the after-4 crowd, join Atwater Brewery in the beer tent, located just near the main stage at Lafayette and First. Drink tickets can be purchased on site.
Admission is free and food tickets can be purchased the day of the event at any of three Comerica Bank ticket booths on Lafayette.
Who?
Blocktoberfest is sponsored by the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, The Detroit Media Partnership, The Detroit News, Detroit Free Press, WDIV, Ford Motor Company, Doubletree Guest Suites, Comerica Bank, Fort Shelby Tower Apartments and Inside Detroit.
