Kick off your Summer with The Beat on Market Street Block Party featuring DJs, Live Bands, Food Trucks, contests, interactive activities, games, giveaways, and cultural celebration.
This month, Denim & Diamonds will be the theme, a night inspired by southern soul, stepping culture, Detroit fashion influence, classic R&B energy, and the feeling of coming together outside during the summer. Whether your vibe is denim-on-denim, rhinestones, cowboy boots, sneakers, streetwear, or elevated southern glam, this night is all about showing up, expressing yourself, dancing in the street, and celebrating culture together. We’ll also be hosting a Best Dressed contest, so come ready to show out in your best Detroit-inspired, cowboy, cowgirl, southern glam, or creative denim looks.
Food by Mama Dukes! BBQ, Nachos & much more.
