About This Event
There’s a power that lives on the Eastside.
A rhythm that rises from the soil, carved by generations who turned struggle into strength and streets into sanctuaries. This isn’t just about neighborhoods—it’s about legacy. A legacy built by people who knew that when we stand together, we don’t just survive—we soar.
The Eastside Extravaganza is our celebration of that power.
A night where we honor our roots and rally around our renaissance. Where we remember that our greatest victories have always come when we showed up for each other. From block clubs to boardrooms, from corner stores to classrooms—we’ve proven time and again that unity is our superpower.
Strength in Unity isn’t just a theme.
This year's awardees include:
Orlando Bailey - Maggie DeSantis Truth to Power
Henry Ford Health - Eastside Corporate Champion
dream hampton - Eastside Legend
GenesisHope - Eastside Innovator
482 Forward - Outstanding Partner
It’s a truth we live by.
It’s how we’ve transformed abandoned lots into green spaces, food deserts into wellness hubs, and silence into movement.
It’s how we’ve fought for housing that honors dignity—not displacement—and built pathways back to home to for our people.
It’s how we keep showing up—for our elders, our youth, our future.
Because when the Eastside moves as one, nothing can stop Detroit.
This year’s Extravaganza isn’t just a moment—it’s a message.
To Detroit. To the nation. To the next generation.
When the Eastside rises—the world feels it.
