One of our favorite events, Happy Hour is back, so come out for dancing and mingling on the new Marketplace Plaza! Join us on Friday evenings once a month for a fun theme and good times. The event is free, with beverages to purchase (so don’t forget to bring a friend; furry friends welcome). You can pop into Whole Foods Market or JINYA Ramen Bar for some bites as well.

May 31: Salsa Night: Get your salsa dancing on; we’ll have an instructor to remind you of the classic steps.

June 28: “Prince vs. Michael:” A night of Prince and Michael Jackon’s classics and deep cuts. Everyone wins this battle!

July 26: Line Dancing: Line dancing is for everyone, and we’ll have an instructor to teach the basic favorites like the Church Clap, the Barn Dance, and the Canadian Stomp.

August 23: Like, Totally 80’s: 80’s night remains one of our favorites, so come out for DJ Harry Hotter to spin the decade’s most tubular tunes.

September 13: Open House: Real house music originated in Detroit and is Black DJ culture at its finest. Call your friends for this one!
