The Grove Arcade reopened to the public in 2002, after an extensive restoration of the beloved downtown landmark. In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Arcade is pleased to announce the release of a stop-motion video, created by local photographer Lynne Harty and featuring the music of Ol’ Hoopty. The video highlights the locally-owned shops, galleries and restaurants that make the Arcade a special place for locals and visitors.
A free public anniversary party will be held on November 2, from noon to 8 p.m. featuring live music, refreshments and sales. The performance schedule is:
1 to 2 p.m. - The Overflow Jug Band
3 to 4:30 p.m. – South Forty
6 to 8 p.m. – Motown Blue
The iconic Arcade has experienced a renaissance, and the beloved downtown landmark houses locally-owned shops, galleries, businesses and restaurants. “The renovation of the Grove Arcade was a great example of public and private investment in a project that could benefit our entire community,” said Ruth Summers, Executive Director of the Grove Arcade Public Market Foundation. “It took vision, money and hard work to make the project a reality. It means a great deal to us that we have been able to support the growth of locally-owned businesses.”
