We know that this Juneteenth Freedom Fest is going to be wall-to-wall Detroiters having wall-to-wall fun!

This Sunday is going to be a double day of celebration because it’s also Father’s Day. Attendees at the Freedom Fest will find out who will win the “Cool Dad” contest that day and will enjoy the delectable meat treats from the Dad Cook-Off, where all Detroit dads are invited to show off their best ribs recipes.

With all that’s happening at Eastern Market’s Shed 5 and 6 on Sunday, The City of Detroit is looking for volunteers to help out. If interested, go to bit.ly/3qLUuXI.
