Kickstart the Hamtramck Festival, one of 313’s premier street parties
Some of you might have first attended the Hamtramck Festival, three days of urban fun in the Labor Day weekend sun, since 1980. That’s a good, long run we want to see continue for decades to come.
The festival is under threat because of cutbacks in the city’s budget. A solution not available 32 years ago is the best option to raise funds: Kickstarter.
Go here and throw a few bucks in the pot to keep the street party alive and kicking.
