GROSSE POINTE FARMS — After more than a year of uncertainty, fear and loss, the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce hopes to host an event this summer that will bring back smiles and fun, as well as a needed boost to local businesses and artists.
On Aug. 7 and 8, the GPCC plans to host Grosse Pointe’s Arts, Beats and Eats in the Richard Elementary School parking lot, on the Hill in Grosse Pointe Farms. The festivities would include artist booths, food trucks and entertainment.
“It’s kind of analogous to the Dabble events,” Farms City Manager Shane Reeside told the Farms City Council during a Zoom meeting April 12, referring to a series of popular community events with food trucks and entertainment that were held on the Hill in previous years.
