Juneteenth
In 2017, Harper Woods was one of the first communities in the area to have a City sponsored Juneteenth celebration. Mayor Valerie Kindle organized that event and continues to be the leading light of June 19th festivities in our region. The Wayne County Community College District hosted the 2024 Juneteenth celebration at their Harper Woods campus. Special thanks to Sean and Nancy Cotton, Sierra Donoven, Ford House, Grosse Pointe Democratic Club, NorthPointe Development, Troy’s Towing, and the Grosse Pointe cities for sponsoring this year’s successful event!
National Night Out
The Harper Woods Public Safety Department hosted its annual National Night Out event on August 6th at Johnston Park. Thank you to all who participated! We could not have done it without our resident volunteers, elected officials, and event organizers. A big “thank you” to sponsors: Christian Financial Credit Union, Exway Electric Supply Co., Family Foods Market, Imperial Market (formerly Vegas Market), Mr. C’s Car Wash, and R Gang Liquor for making this community event take place. We look forward to seeing you again next year on August 5, 2025.
