After a two-year break, the Hospitality Included food and drink festival is set to return to Detroit’s North End. The Detroit-based industry group Hospitality Included will host 30 of the city's top bars, restaurants and pop-up chefs as vendors at the one-day outdoor festival. Popular eateries including Freya, Fried Chicken & Caviar, Flowers of Vietnam and Dutch Girl Donuts will have food on offer.

Hospitality Included Fest '25 is August 24 at Detroit Design District in Detroit’s North End neighborhood.

Thor Jones, founder of Hospitality Included, joined the Metro to discuss the festival, what it took to bring it back after two years, and the 'community ticketing' model the festival is using this year for admission.

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on demand.
