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

2026-09-13 08:00 - 11:30
Celebrating 30 Years of Wild Miles
For 30 years, Run Wild has invited thousands of people to run (or walk) through the Detroit Zoo and turn those miles into meaningful support for animals and nature. To mark this milestone anniversary, we’re spotlighting an animal that perfectly embodies the spirit of our running community: The alpaca.
Known for their resilience, curiosity and strong connection to their herd, alpacas remind us that we’re stronger together. This year, we invite you to join our herd as we pave the way for the next 30 years of supporting incredible animal health and well-being at the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Center.
Whether you’re a serious runner aiming for a PR or a family looking for a wild Sunday stroll, Run Wild 2026, presented by Michigan First Credit Union, is your chance to be part of Zoo history.

Here’s what’s new and noteworthy for Year 30:
• Fundraising is here! Sign yourself up, then rally your network to support the cause!

• Fred and Barbara Erb Discovery Trails access. Registration includes a post-race celebration at the Main Picnic Grove and access to the soon-to-be-open Fred and Barbara Erb Discovery Trails.
• Commemorative gear. Celebrate with an exclusive 30th anniversary medal and T-shirt.

Why We Run
Every step you take directly impacts the animals you love.
