Ann Arbor is a place where people are doing life different — a place that inspires the mind and stirs the imagination. And that intangible essence is experienced by residents and visitors alike.

When your event guests or tour groups break off and head out to explore the town, they’ll enjoy…

• More than 250 incredible restaurants, eateries and sidewalk cafés
• Shopping galore — at the Kerrytown shops, Briarwood Mall, and a vibrant greater downtown area that’s booming with rare shops and boutiques
• A panorama of arts and culture, including the U of M Museum of Art, the Kerrytown Concert Hall, the Michigan Theater, and the nationally renowned music venue, The Ark

It all culminates in a culture that’s a feast for the eyes, ears and palate. More to the point: Ann Arbor is a feast for the soul. That’s why events that take place here are long talked about and remembered.
