Detroit Chinatown Block Party - Detroit, MI
2026-07-25 12:00 - 20:00
The Detroit Chinatown Vision Committee will host the second annual Chinatown Block Party on Saturday, July 25, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the intersection of Cass Avenue and Peterboro Street in Detroit’s historic Chinatown district.
Following last year’s inaugural event, which drew more than 4,000 people, the community celebration returns with expanded programming, bringing together residents, families, and visitors to experience Asian American culture while supporting local businesses and the continued revitalization of Detroit’s Chinatown.
The annual event commemorates the history of Detroit’s Chinatown and memorializes the demolition of the Chinese Merchants Association Building, the longtime home of the Association of Chinese Americans (ACA) and the founding location of American Citizens for Justice (ACJ). One of the last remaining landmarks of Detroit’s original Chinatown, the building symbolized the resilience and contributions of generations of Chinese Americans and other Asian Americans who helped shape Detroit. Through storytelling, historical exhibits, and community gathering, the event honors this legacy while gaining momentum for a vibrant Pan-Asian district. The gathering serves as both a remembrance of what was lost and a celebration of community.
The Detroit Chinatown Vision Committee is a volunteer-led initiative working to revitalize Detroit’s historic Chinatown district and develop a vibrant Pan-Asian destination surrounding Cass Avenue and Peterboro Street. Through community engagement, cultural programming and strategic partnerships, the committee seeks to honor Detroit’s Asian American heritage while creating a dynamic district for future generations.
When: Saturday, July 25, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Where: Cass Ave & Peterboro St., Detroit, MI
Cost: Free and open to the public
