Detroit’s largest annual b**r festival is returning to Eastern Market next weekend! 🍻🍂🎶

The 17th annual Michigan Brewers Guild Michigan Brewers Guild Detroit Fall B**r Festival takes over Eastern Market on Saturday, October 24 from 1–6pm, bringing together nearly 90 Michigan breweries pouring more than 450 b**rs across 80+ styles. The event is 21+ with valid ID.

One of the largest all-Michigan b**r tastings around, the festival gives b**r lovers the chance to sample their way across Michigan’s craft brewing scene all in one afternoon at one of Detroit’s most iconic destinations.

And there’s plenty happening beyond the b**r. This year’s entertainment includes live music from Theo Gridiron and Friends and Audrey Ray on the Main Stage, Konrad Lee in Shed 5, plus four International Bigtime Wrestling matches throughout the afternoon. 🎶🤼

Come hungry too, with food available for purchase from Yellow Dog Craft BBQ, Señors, Guy’s Pizza, Pietrzyk Pierogi and Fire and Rice. 🍕🥟🔥

Eastern Market makes an especially fitting home for the festival. Established in 1891, it is one of the nation’s oldest public markets and sits in an area with deep Detroit brewing history. At its peak, the Detroit area was home to more than 40 breweries, and historic malt silos still stand as reminders of that legacy. 🍺🏙️

The Michigan Brewers Guild first brought its Detroit festival to Eastern Market in 2009 with 40 breweries and 200 b**rs. Seventeen years later, it has grown into one of the state’s largest celebrations dedicated entirely to Michigan b**r.

🎟️ General admission | $60 advance | $70 day of
⏰ General admission | 1–6pm

Where would techno be without Detroit? Nowhere. ❗🌍

This year, Paris Techno Parade Technopol returned to the streets of Paris after a two-year hiatus and Detroit was invited as the guest of honor for its 26th edition! 🎶

Join us and Detroit’s Ambassador of Sound and Swag, DJ Killa $quid as we look back at what this moment meant for the birthplace of techno. Detroit took center stage to share our city’s music, culture and creative legacy with the world.

An estimated 350,000 people filled the streets of Paris September 19. Aboard the Visit Detroit float, three generations of Detroit electronic music came together: Kevin Saunderson, one of the co-creators of Detroit techno; DJ Minx, founder of Women on Wax and a trailblazer for women DJs; and DJ Holographic, representing the next generation taking Detroit’s sound around the world.

It was incredible to see all the Detroit love throughout the streets of Paris. Crowds danced with us, many in Detroit gear, from Underground Resistance to Detroit Hustles Harder to the Tigers. Some people began the day with us and followed our float for miles, dancing with us all the way down the route to the very end miles later. ❤️

Detroit’s presence extended beyond the parade. PanPan Pizza, a Paris staple serving Detroit-style pizza, was the perfect gathering place and became a Detroit hub, hosting a press conference with Technopol and more than 20 journalists and creators. A partnership with Radio FG also brought Detroit’s story to French airwaves ahead of the parade.

The entire experience was a powerful reminder that Detroit continues to move the world and that Detroit culture is worldwide.

And a huge thank you to Technopol, Unique Consulting, PanPan Pizza, Radio FG, Octane Design and everyone who helped bring Detroit to Paris. 🇺🇸🇫🇷

Exciting update: JW Marriott Detroit Water Square is set to open in late February 2027! 🏨🌊

Detroit’s newest luxury hotel is getting closer. The 25-story hotel taking shape along the Detroit River on the former Joe Louis Arena site as part of the new Water Square development.

The hotel will bring 600+ rooms to Detroit’s award-winning riverfront, including 44 suites and a 2,100 sq. ft. Presidential Suite. It will also connect directly to Huntington Place by a pedestrian skybridge, marking a major first for Detroit as the city’s first hotel connected directly to its convention center.

Inside the details are coming together. The hotel has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, water and natural-inspired design, and sweeping views of the Detroit River, Windsor, Canada and the Detroit skyline. 🇨🇦🌊

Guests will also be able to step right out onto the Detroit Riverwalk, voted the No. 1 riverwalk in the country multiple years in a row, with access to more than 4 miles of revitalized waterfront.

The hotel is planned to feature more than 53,000 square feet of meeting and gathering space including a 17,000-square-foot grand ballroom, a 12,000-square-foot junior ballroom, 14 meeting and executive board rooms, and outdoor terrace spaces overlooking the water.

Wellness will be a major part of the experience too with Detroit’s first riverfront spa planned inside the hotel. Spa by JW is expected to include 9 waterfront treatment rooms, men’s and women’s lounges with steam, sauna and cold plunge, plus a 50-foot indoor lap pool and 24/7 fitness center. 🧖‍♀️🏊‍♀️

The hotel will also bring new dining to the riverfront, including Verena, JW Market and The Assembly, a lobby bar featuring a wrap-around outdoor terrace. Joe Muer Seafood + Chops is also planned as the anchor restaurant on the first floor along the Detroit Riverwalk. 🛍️🐟🍸

Crews are hard at work as the hotel gets closer to opening and we’re so excited to welcome the JW Marriott Detroit Water Square to the city! 🎉

Detroit is home to a 982-acre island park that’s bigger than Central Park! 🌳💯

Join us and Dan from Expedition Detroit as we hike, bike and paddle our way through Belle Isle Park for the latest episode of our Trailblaze Detroit series! 🥾🛶🚲

Belle Isle Belle Isle Conservancy is Michigan’s most visited state park welcoming more than 5 million visitors each year. The island was designed in part by Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect behind New York’s Central Park, and today its 982 acres include trails, waterways, historic landmarks and miles of Detroit River shoreline.

For outdoor recreation, Belle Isle’s eastern side is a must-visit. The Blue Heron Lagoon and lighthouse trail system takes you through one of the island’s wildest areas, with views of Peche Island, Lake St. Clair and Canada. Nearby you can bike the island loop or get out on the water to explore Belle Isle’s lakes, lagoons and canals.

🚲 Bike: Ride the 5.8-mile Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Trail loop around the island, passing landmarks including the James Scott Memorial Fountain, Sunset Point, Belle Isle Casino and Belle Isle Aquarium.

🛶 Paddle: Explore Blue Heron Lagoon and Lake Okonoka by kayak or paddleboard. Hourly rentals are available seasonally from RKC Adventures and Simple Adventures at the Flynn Memorial Pavilion.

🏁 Start here: The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Gateway Trailhead is a great starting point for exploring the island.

📍 Bonus stop: Look for the “One World … Under Michigan Stars” monument marking mile 0.0 of Michigan’s 2,000-mile Iron Belle Trail.
