Local 4 is partnering with Raise the Flag Detroit for an event outside the Spirit of Detroit statue.
Ali Thrower from Raise the Flag discussed the significance of Detroit flag - and the importance of the ceremony.
“We were founded July 24th, it’s the middle of the summer. What about celebrating our city’s birthday or founding date while using our flag to spread awareness to the meaning of our city,” Thrower said.
Comedian Melanie Hearn will bring hometown humor to the stage, sharing a preview of her performance.
Local 4 Special Events Producer Laura Wartel also explained how Local 4 Insiders can enter a free raffle for Detroit merchandise.
The special celebration at Spirit of Detroit Plaza takes place from noon to 4 p.m.
Activities include live music, and a Detroit flag-raising ceremony at 3:13 p.m., with free cupcakes for attendees.
