Let's celebrate 313 Day together with Detroit trivia

Two things our fellow Detroiters have are pride and a competitive spirit!

So we at Daily Detroit thought we'd have a bit of fun on the made-up holiday celebrating Detroit - 313 day, March (third month) 13th - and host Detroit-themed trivia.

It'll happen at Tocororo in Eastern Market, doors are at 5pm and we'll get trivia going soon after 6pm.

Facts, history, anything is on the table.

We'll also put together a very special live podcast of Daily Detroit for the intermission (our show, if you're a listener, is usually only about 20 minutes long).

Trivia will be hosted by noted local author, journalist, and barchaelogist Mickey Lyons.

You'll be able to grab an alcoholic (or N/A) drink, order some food from their kitchen, and have fun with fellow Daily Detroit readers and listeners.

Tocororo has a very accessible drink menu, so no matter your price point there's something for you. Be sure to tip your bartender!

So head over to Eventbrite and register, free!
