Salutations!

This weekend is looking like it might be pretty nice compared to last weekend, weather-wise. There are plenty of great events happening this weekend. Let’s get this party train moving shall we.

Eastern Market Brewing Company Grand Opening

We got a sneak peak of the new Eastern Market Brewing Company during Eastern Market After Dark, but the time has finally come for the official grand opening on.

While there are not many details about what the owners have planned for the grand opening, it will still be a good time. Go and check out all of the work they did on this building while drinking some beer.

The grand opening will take place on Friday, October 20 from 6:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.

Eastern Market Brewing Company is located at 2515 Riopelle
Detroit, Michigan 48207

Sfumato Fragrances & NYC Chef Pop Up at POST

This Friday and Sunday night there will be a really great pop up dinner at POST over in the Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood.

We did a whole post about the dinner, so you can head over there to find out all of the details.

Speaking of POST, if you can’t make it to the dinner but have some free time on Saturday, October 21 I suggest checking out the grand opening party.

Ghost Light Halloween Party

Looking for some adult Halloween entertainment that isn’t going to cost you an arm and a leg? I’m going to point you in the direction of the Ghost Light bar in Hamtramck.

On Saturday, October 21 the bar will be holding a free Halloween show. Come out for some live local bands playing your favorite covers.

The party starts at 7:00 p.m. and will go until 2:00 a.m.

The Ghost Light is located at 2314 Caniff, Hamtramck, Michigan 48212

Sugar House Drinking Team: Pappy vs. Weller 

If you enjoy whiskey then this exclusive whiskey tasting at Sugar House might be right up your alley.

The afternoon tasting there will be a blind controlled tasting of four different whiskies from Pappy Van Winkle and Weller Whiskies.

Tickets to this tasting will run you $95 per person.

The Pappy vs. Weller tasting will take place on Saturday, October 21 from 12:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m.

Sugar House is located at 2130 Michigan Avenue Detroit, Michigan 48216

Detroit A Go Go

If you’re looking for some great music, I suggest checking out at least one night of this awesome celebration of Detroit’s musical legacy. There will be live performances on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

We’ve already did a whole story about Detroit A Go Go. I’m just going to send you over there to get the details.

Bonus

Daffodil planting on Belle Isle 

Last Saturday volunteers were able to plant close to half of the 100,000 daffodil bulbs around Belle Isle, even with the weather being pretty crappy.

The only problem is that they still have 55,000 bulbs to plant.

If you weren’t able to make it out last Saturday but have free time this Saturday, October 21 the Belle Isle Conservancy could really use your help.

Meeting time is 10:00 a.m. at Sunset Point on Belle Isle.
