About the event
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.
