LA NORTEÑA Ground Breaking and Community Activation - Honoring Legacy. Imagining the Future.

Pull up for a special day celebrating culture, history, music, and community energy at one of Mexican town's iconic spaces.
La Norteña is more than a building, but hold space for stories of our community and contributions to the Southwest Detroit Vernor corridor —and now it’s time to re imagine what comes next with the community at the center.
Come vibe with us as we bring the space to life with sounds,
memories, food, and future ideas for Southwest Detroit.

🎶 Outdoor activation + Live DJ + neighborhood vibes
🌮 Food + community connection
📖 VOCES storytelling + local history recordings
🎨 Interactive vision boards and community input
💬 Community ideas for the future first floor activation
🫶 Family friendly atmosphere
This isn’t just an event.
It’s about honoring those who came before us and creating something rooted in us.
