Shop Detroit This Weekend
Detroit Synergy is hosting their 5th annual Shop Detroit Event this weekend beginning Saturday and running from 11:–am – 4:00pm. Check in at Willy’s Overland Lofts located at 444 W. Willis (we don’t use meaningless words like “street” and “road” in Detroit).
Shop during the day and stay for Noel Night for one exciting time in Midtown! Over 30 institutions, including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Science Center, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Detroit Historical Museum, and the Detroit Public Library, among others,¬†open their doors to the public free of charge during this Cultural Center-wide holiday “open house.”
Shopping Bags! Get a nifty, reusable tote bag filled with a map and store directory and other good stuff when you check in. This will identify you as an SD participant and be your ticket to great offers. Bring it back on the other Shop Detroit days, and keep filling it up!
Most participating merchants are doing something special. Below is a sampling of what to expect.

Walking Tours | Departing from Willy’s at Noon and 2pm Sponsored and conducted by our friends at Inside Detroit, each tour will highlight retailers, history, and insider information. Think you know it all? Meet the shop owners and get a behind the scenes look at some real Detroit gems. It’s a great way to see the sights and get your holiday shopping done.
Don’t forget to stop by my friend, Joe Posch’s shop – Mezzanine.
