DRESS CODE

Each year we try to encourage a fun dress code: life is short, why not get fancy? This year in honor of all the various partnerships required to advance community development initiatives, we are asking folks to wear their favorite neighborhood or neighborhood-based organization’s gear, or rep. their company logo in a creative (or regular) way!

PARKING

We suggest parking at the Ziegler Park Garage at 1322 Sycamore St. Head North when you walk out of the garage and use E 14th Street to reach Main and the Woodward will be on your right.
