HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (FOX 2) – Rocker Jack White will take the stage for a moment when he reunites with The Hentchmen at this year’s Hamtramck Labor Day Fest.
White, an occasional member of the Detroit punk band, will join them onstage for several songs at the festival’s closing event on Monday, September 2.
The free Hamtramck Labor Day Fest runs August 31 through September 2 and features a mix of local artists and national acts.
Other artists on the bill include Detroit rappers Sada Baby, Bruiser Wolf, Gmac Cash and Esham, Canadian rock band Sloan, Mike Skill of The Romantics, Hamtramck’s The Polish Muslims and more.
In addition to music, the annual event includes a carnival, wrestling shows, a canoe race, a parade and a pierogi eating contest.
“We’re so proud that our festival still exists, and it’s free and organized by volunteers,” said Konrad Maziarz, festival chairman. “It’s a lot of work, but we can’t think of any other way to celebrate all of Hamtramck’s weird and wonderful cultural and artistic achievements. We have a great food scene this year, so much great art, and so many fantastic musicians. It’s truly a showcase for the creative community here.”
