    Day 1: Arriving Early?

    We’re rolling out the welcome in style. Kick off your weekend with a chill meet-and-greet at One Mike Comedy Club, the city’s newest hotspot founded by Mike Epps. Come vibe, sip, and settle in. From rooftop bars to a Katy Perry concert less than a mile away — the night is yours. Just don’t wear yourself out... because tomorrow?

    Day 2: The Big Day — The Detroit Cookout Tour

    This is it. The full-on cultural takeover. We're talking scavenger hunts through hidden Black history, powerful exhibits on civil rights and resilience, block parties with live music, hands-on community action, food trucks, Black-owned fashion markets, massage trailers, and a finale celebration with some of the city’s most influential voices.

    Be prepared for a day you will NEVER forget.

    Day 3: Bonus Vibes

    Still in town? We got you.

    From walking the legendary Motown halls to standing inside a real Underground Railroad station, Sunday is about reflection, soul, and stepping into history. Wrap up the weekend like a true Detroiter — skating on the Eastside at Royal Skateland’s Old School Sunday, where grown folks groove from 9PM to 1AM.

    This is more than a tour — it’s an experience you’ll talk about all year.

    Don’t forget you are not a visitor in Detroit. You’re FAMILY!

    Seats are limited.

  • The Blaque ball

    A Celebration of Unity, Culture & Elegance

    📍 Detroit, MI | 📅 November 22, 2025 | 🕘 Location TBA
    Theme:Black & Velvet | Dress Code:Black Tie — Black Dandyism

    This is not just a party. It’s a statement. A celebration. A ceremony.

    On the night of November 22, 2025, step into an atmosphere of bold beauty and refined rebellion. The Blaque Ball is a black-tie evening where culture meets couture — a velvet-draped celebration of power, pride, and the unshakable bond between the Black and Ginger communities.

    Inspired by the aesthetics of Black Dandyism, this night invites you to bring your most elevated, expressive self — think tailored velvet, bold silhouettes, polished details, and intentional style. Dress like royalty. Walk like legacy.

    💍 Not Just a Ball — A Ceremony of Unity

    Imagine the grace of a wedding. The electricity of a gala. The joy of a reunion.
    The Blaque Ball is designed as a symbolic ceremony — honoring unity, resilience, and shared beauty between two communities that have always defied expectation.

    🏆 Awards Celebration

    Throughout the evening, we will uplift and honor changemakers, artists, entrepreneurs, and culture leaders who represent the spirit of innovation, inclusivity, and Black excellence. This is a time to give people their flowers — and toast to futures we're building, together.

    🎭 Atmosphere

    Expect an immersive environment:
    🖤 Velvet textures and dramatic lighting
    🎷 Live performances and curated soundscapes
    🎤 Thoughtful storytelling and spoken word
    🥂 Champagne toasts, gourmet bites, and a full-circle celebration of culture

    🪩 Come Dressed to Speak Without Saying a Word

    Black Dandyism is more than a style — it’s resistance, art, and elegance wrapped in one. Come ready to turn heads, tell stories through your look, and walk with your ancestors.

    The Blaque Ball is not just a night — it’s a legacy moment.
    Mark your calendar. Tell your crew. And prepare to experience something deeper than glamour.
    Because when we come together in unity and celebration?
    We are unstoppable.
