ALL ACCESS PASS for the Detroit is Different Festival Saturday Night only $50 ($90 of value).

Welcome to a collage of sound, sight, taste, feel, and scent of Detroiters from all walks of life . . . This is the Detroit is Different Festival. Even if you visit Detroit, are from Detroit, or live in Detroit, you never knew all this culture was alive and thriving in Detroit. Detroit is Different is a multi-media house for culture creators who podcast, blog, vlog, and produce art. Over 40 Metro-Detroiters use Detroit is Different as a hub to engage audiences interested in an array of subcultures including but not limited to: Women in Hip-hop; Black (African-American) Comedy; Islamic Social Justice; the Black (African-American) Gay Professional class; the Natural Hair Movement; Lesbian-Trans-Women Social Justice; Women Visual Artists; Artists under the age of 25; and many other groups and circles. These subcultures are the anchors of the Detroit feel that is often summarized as the 'clique-ish' culture of the city. The Detroit is Different Festival provides you the rare opportunity to witness, experience, and familiarize yourself with the diverse subcultures that make Detroit DIFFERENT!
