Clinton River Watershed Council Plans Friday Get-Together With Food, Drinks in Sterling Heights

A fundraising bash with local brewers, food vendors, and artists kicks off September 19, 2025, at Dodge Park's Farmers Market Pavilion. The Clinton River Watershed Council picked this spot in Sterling Heights for their big annual event.

"This will be a wonderful in-person opportunity on a fall evening to learn about our work, directly from our staff," Jennifer Hill, executive director for Clinton River Watershed Council, said per The Macomb Daily. "Plus, we'll have some really gool displays and infrastructure demonstrations for the Clinton River Watershed Council."

Mark your calendars for Crafts on the Clinton, running 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. This gathering funds vital educational work and keeps local waters clean.

If you're thirsty, at least ten drink makers will pour their best. Stop by booths from Arbor Brewing, B. Nektar Meadery, Blake's, Brown Iron Brewhouse, Cellar 104, Griffin Claw Brewing, Home Grown Brewing Company, Kuhnhenn Brewing, Rose House, and Stumblebum.

When hunger strikes, at least three food trucks await. Little Brothers serves up juicy burgers, Los Dos Amigos cooks fresh tacos, and Sucree Desserts brings sweet treats to cap off your night.

The group watches over 760 square miles of water. Their work spans 63 towns across Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, Wayne, and St. Clair counties.

This waterway matters - it's Michigan's busiest. Waters flow through communities where 1.5 million people make their homes, all the way to Lake St. Clair.

Want in? Grab tickets at $55 each. You'll get eight drink samples (2-4 ounces) plus a $10 food truck credit. Find it all at Dodge Park, 40620 Utica Road in Sterling Heights.
