Downtown Ferndale is excited to be part of the 2013 Metro Times Blowout! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Blowout, it is the one of the longest-running (16th year) and largest events of its kind, featuring the best local and regional musical talent and attracts over 5,000 attendees. Traditionally held in Detroit and Hamtramck, it is expanding this year to include a second weekend – in Ferndale – with 10 venues!

For more details on the event and bands go to Metro Times

**Join the Ferndale DDA at the Rust Belt Market and help us raise funds for ARTWN (pronounced Art Town), a public art initiative for Downtown Ferndale. All funds raised at the bar inside the Rust Belt Market goes towards the legacy of public art.

You can also assist us by volunteering during this event at the Rust Belt. Volunteers are needed for tending bar, selling drink tickets, checking id's, managing the bar area and ensuring visitors to Downtown Ferndale have rockin' good time.

So, grab a group of friends – or come by yourself & make some new ones – and sign up for one (or more) of the following shifts! Not only will you get to hear some great local music, you’ll get to meet some great people, do a little networking and most importantly, you’ll get to help your downtown raise some funds to support ARTWN and public art in Downtown Ferndale!

Volunteer Shifts:
Thursday, May 2nd 8pm-11:30pm
Thursday, May 2nd 11pm-2am
Friday, May 3rd 8pm-11:30pm SHIFT FILLED!
