“I’m biased but the Detroit Urban Craft Fair is my favorite event each year,” said Dorset. “It’s not just because I love to see what the vendors have created this time around and do a bit of holiday shopping for myself, but I’m always so inspired to see so many talented artists, crafters, and makers in metro Detroit in one place. And it’s humbling to see so many wonderful area residents come to the fair to support local businesses and our economy with their purchases. In just two days you can see the future for southeastern Michigan, and the region, happening right before your eyes.”
