Celebrate October with Blocktober Fest!

On October 13, the Detroit Media Partnership, Doubletree Guest Suites, Fort Shelby Tower Apartments, WDIV-TV 4, Comerica Bank, and Inside Detroit are hosting the block party of the fall.

Blocktober Fest will run from 12 p.m. - 8 p.m. and include food, drinks, live music, games and raffle prizes. A portion of the proceeds will benefit United Way and its work in education, income and basic needs.

The event will take place on W. Lafayette St., between First and Third St., in downtown Detroit. Stop over on your lunch hour or bring your family downtown after work and experience Blocktober Fest. Still not sure where to go? Check out a map.
