Midnight Madness

Celebrate “Cuatro de Mayo” in downtown Ann Arbor. Join Ann Arbor businesses as they roll out the red carpet during the annual spring Midnight Madness event, Friday, May 4th.

Support local businesses as they stay open late and create a festive atmosphere with music, lights and specials throughout the day. Look for luminaries outside of participating businesses.

Ballet Folklorico Moyocoyani Izel will perform on the sidewalk in the Main Street area from 7 to 8:30pm. This dance troupe out of Detroit teaches the history of their culture through dance. The troupe will be performing sets highlighting traditional dance from different regions of Mexico.

For a complete list of participating businesses and special offers go to www.mainstreetannarbor.org.

The Main Street Area Association is a 501(c)6 not for profit organization whose mission is to preserve the long term success and vitality of downtown Ann Arbor. Visit www.mainstreetannarbor.org.
