Movement Detroit is just around the corner and per usual, there’s a mob of pre-parties and after parties to attend.

To enhance your overall festival experience, select your favorite artists and venues to check out after hours. Or simply go where the music takes you. There’s a full list of options below and it’s possible even more will pop up over the next few weeks.

Each year, Movement provides the perfect setting to meet up with friends, make new ones and discover techno traditions in the city that made it. It’s more than a festival, it’s a celebration — and we absolutely can’t wait to be back!

Movement 2023 is set for Memorial Day Weekend, May 27 – 29 at Detroit’s staple riverfront park, Hart Plaza. See the full festival lineup here and secure tickets here.
