Thanksgiving Eve is known for being the booziest and schmooziest night of the year, and we’re here for it! In true NEXTGen Detroit fashion, we’re keeping all the fun of this annual tradition, but upping the experience (hello, Daxton…bye, Roosevelts) and adding in an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. No standing in a line wrapped around the block to get into the bar this year — you’re walking right up to that velvet rope for a Thanksgiving Eve reunion with all your favorite hometown homies. We’ll be making l’chaims, noshing, connecting and supporting the work of the Jewish Federation and its Annual Campaign.
$20 per person until October 16 includes two drink tickets and lite bites.
In addition to the cost of a ticket, a minimum donation of $36 to the Jewish Federation’s 2026 Annual Campaign is required to attend this event.
Your ticket purchase helps to cover the cost of the event, but your donation to the Annual Campaign goes directly to support the work of the Jewish Federation and our 16 local and three international partner agencies. You can learn more about how your $36 will impact countless lives here.
Additional drink tickets available for $6 each.
Ticket prices after October 16th:
$30 per person from October 17 – November 6.
$40 per person from November 7 – November 19.
$50 per person from November 20 – November 26.

If you have already made a donation to Federation’s 2026 Annual Campaign, please reach out to Ryan Otis at [email protected] for a specialized code to fully waive the donation fee.
