Guest:
Susan Mosey is the executive director of Midtown Detroit Inc. On Saturday. Dec. 2, Midtown Detroit Inc is hosting the 49th annual Noel Night. She says as the event has grown, Midtown Detroit has broadened its performances, but has maintained a focus on Detroit artists.
“We have some national acts that are really interesting and kind of bring in, I think, a bit of a higher profile… but the bread and butter of this event is homegrown arts and culture,” says Mosey.
