Main Street between Liberty and William streets is closed all day Thursday for an event on Main called ... The Event on Main.
Sponsored by the University of Michigan and Mainstreet Ventures restaurants, the event is an annual charity fundraiser. This year's beneficiary is the Food Allergy Center in C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
Although the event runs 5:30-11 p.m., Main Street is closed all day for setup and cleanup. The event involves hors d'oeuvres, drinks and desserts in a tent on Main Street, as well as dinner inside at Gratzi, the Chop House and Real Seafood.
