From organizer:
Dear Community Leaders,
We are happy to announce that we are moving the Pig & Whiskey Festival from Ferndale to Corktown this year! As part of our approval with the Mayor’s Office of Special Events, we are engaging our local neighborhood block clubs, leaders, and community members to let you know about this fun and exciting summer festival.
It will be held from Friday, July 31st to Sunday, August 2nd on Beech Street and the adjacent parking lots, between the Lodge Service Drive and Brooklyn Street.
Because we value being good neighbors, we wanted to make sure you had this information ahead of time rather than hearing about it after plans were already underway. We recognize that an event of this size can bring increased activity to the area, including additional visitors, traffic, and noise during certain hours (we promise noise will cease by 10pm!).
Our team has been working closely with the appropriate city departments, public safety officials, and event partners to help ensure the festival is operated safely and responsibly. We are committed to following all applicable permits and regulations while doing our best to minimize impacts on surrounding residents and businesses. We have secured parking for the festival at the Albert Kahn lot at 830 W Lafayette, the Assembly Garage on Fort Street, and the MGM parking structure directly over the Lodge Freeway.
The festival also provides an opportunity to showcase our community, support local businesses (we will be having a mini-Corktown vendor fair within the Brooklyn Detroit building!), and welcome visitors who contribute to the local economy. We hope it will be a positive experience for both attendees and the neighborhood.
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback before the event, please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your partnership and welcome the opportunity to address any issues that may arise.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to a great inaugural Pig & Whiskey festival in Corktown!
All the best,
Katelyn Burkart
