Summer's Most Stunning Evening

Join us for summer’s most stunning evening and support the Little Victors at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. We’ll shut down Main Street, where chefs from Mainstreet Ventures will serve up their specialties. Join in the festivities as we dance the night away to dazzling entertainment, creating a vibrant atmosphere for all to enjoy.
