GROSSE POINTE — The Village Streetside Sale-ebration is moving to a Saturday and Sunday event this year in response to community feedback. The hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 27 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 28.
Besides the sales, more than a dozen local crafters and vendors will be on hand selling jewelry, gluten-free treats and other items. There will be activities for kids as well, and The Loop social district will enable those ages 21 and up to enjoy their favorite alcoholic beverage while strolling. Get started on the festivities early when Planet D Nonet plays Music on the Plaza at 7 p.m. July 25 and July 26 as the band marks the release of its latest CD. Kercheval Avenue will close Friday evening so that tents can be set up, so organizers are having an informal block party July 26 to which the public is invited.
“The Promotions Committee really focused on crafting this year’s event on feedback provided by the community,” Main Street Grosse Pointe Executive Director Cindy Willcock said in a press release. “The addition of new vendors and activities, especially the kid-centric Little Village and on-street dining options were the top suggestions for enhancing the Sale-ebration and we believe that these additions will help enhance the event and compliment the businesses in The Village. In addition to a great lineup of vendors, we’re excited that nearly every Village restaurant will be participating on-street. Main Street’s Little Village will have a host of activities including arts & crafts, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, coloring, face painting and more. A Sunday jazz brunch concert rounds out the special activities.”
