Admission is free, there are 2 stages of amazing music, there's wrestling, great food, a carnival, vendors, and more! Don't forget to head down early on Monday for the Hamtramck Canoe Races too! Throw water balloons, shoot water guns, and cheer on your favorite bars of Hamtramck as they race down Joseph Campau starting at noon. The whole weekend's schedule is packed with awesomeness, check it out here! The fun goes from about noon - 10 PM daily, and don't miss all of the fun after parties around town too (especially Small's on Saturday night with The Amino Acids and Carjack)!
