Downtown Divas love Downtown Bay City and special happenings are taking place all over town - just for them! It's the annual Fall Downtown Divas Weekend in Downtown Bay City, October 10, 11 & 12, 2008.

It's all about the ladies with Diva Fall fashion events planned throughout the weekend. With the special Diva activities and over 120 one-of-a-kind shops and eateries, Downtown Bay City is the perfect place for girlfriends to stroll, shop, and dine - and "get away from it all!"

Schedule of Activities:

The event takes place in the beautifully restored Pere Marquette Depot, 919 Boutell Place, from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 each or 2 for $8, cash bar. What a great opportunity (and price!) for you and your girlfriends to let loose after a long day at the office!
