We are pleased to announce the 2024 Corktown Music Festival happening Thursday, March 28th (free at Corktown Tavern only), Friday, March 29 and Saturday March 30th in… you guessed it…Corktown. Join us at this historic Detroit neighborhood for over 70 musical acts performing at 4 venues: Batch Brewing Company, Corktown Tavern, Gaelic League, Nancy Whiskey’s.

This is a benefit show with proceeds going to 4 Paws 1 Heart, a 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to reduce the number of homeless cats & dogs by paying for needed medical treatment and assisting with the permanent placement of these animals through their partnerships with local rescue groups. Many of the bands playing are already great supporters of this cause, and look forward to helping make a difference in the lives of the voiceless.
A $20 wristband will get you into all 4 venues (good for both nights) for a fun weekend of diverse, live music, which probably includes many of your favorite bands/artists! Check the Facebook page for the list of confirmed bands/artists. Set times will be staggered starting early evening 5pm through 1am. You may purchase wristbands NOW via Venmo @corktownmusicfestival.
