Michigan Distilled 2017

michigan distilled logoThe Michigan Craft Distillers Association presents MICHIGAN DISTILLED, an evening spirits tasting and cocktail festival planned for Friday, September 15 from 6-10pm at Fulton Street Farmers Market in Grand Rapids.

We anticipate more than 20 Michigan craft distilleries to participate in this event, with hopes of attracting at least 1000 attendees.

A VIP Hour (5-6pm) offers guests an enhanced experience with handcrafted cocktails and a chance to meet with mixologists. The General Admission guests will be served either batch cocktails or ¼-ounce samples of spirits available from each respective distillery. Food trucks, specialty food / beverage vendors and live local music round out the inaugural event.

We are now accepting applications for craft distilleries (must be members of MCDA), food trucks, food / beverage vendors and handcrafted exhibitors for this event. Each participant will be allocated covered shed space at the market, with access to power, lights and space for backdrops, displays, banners, etc. Space is limited and approval is required by the MCDA Board of Directors for non-member participation.
