The Detroit Month of Design Festival is a citywide celebration of creativity that gathers designers and the greater community to celebrate Detroit’s role as a national and global design capital. Every September, partners across the city—from emerging studios to established companies and educational institutions—come together to show off their latest works and ideas. These cross-disciplinary events take place in all corners of the metropolis, highlighting the talent and innovation that makes Detroit the first and only UNESCO City of Design in the U.S.

With over 80 events put on by hundreds of creatives, the 13th Annual Detroit Month of Design festival is expected to engage over 50,000 attendees in various neighborhoods throughout September.
