Community Calendar

Travel Michigan, maybe even the United States, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a lovelier garden cafe than we have right here in downtown Stockbridge.
This Friday from 6:30 to 9, Cravingz will be hopping to the live acoustic music of Phil Tolliver.
What better way to enjoy the evening than to sip on a chilled glass of beer or pinot grigio while jiving to upbeat tunes? And, don’t forget to order a tasty sandwich.
