Hi! We’re Eastside Kids and we’re super passionate about supporting littles and their families by highlighting fun, community-building, play-filled activities in Detroit, the Grosse Pointes, Harper Woods, Saint Clair Shores, Mount Clemens, and everything in between. We do this by curating a calendar of local events, and by hosting fun and unique pop-ups that connect Eastside families to some of the amazing businesses, non-profits, artists, and creators in our area. We love local and we love keeping it simple, sustainable, and silly. You can learn more about what we offer and why we do this here.

While we have you, check out one of our upcoming pop-ups on the Eastside, and if you have the means, consider supporting our work. If you’re a local business, non-profit, or creator and are interested in collaborating or planning a future pop-up, we’d love to hear from you! Or if you have an event you want the community to know about please help us add to the calendar here.

Hi 👋. I’m Kristin, and I’m the Mom behind Eastside Kids. For almost three years I’ve been finding local events and putting them into a calendar to connect Eastside families with the businesses and groups creating kid-friendly fun on Metro Detroit’s Eastside. As our community has grown, so have the number of events that I’ve highlighted. In our busiest months, I’ve put over 300 events on our calendar for folks to find, and honestly, I’m really proud of that. Happy weekend! Details at the link in bio! 🎄🍭🎅📸🌀🪄🎭 If you’re looking to keep your dollars a little more local this holiday season, you’re in luck! We have some truly amazing small businesses on Metro Detroit’s Eastside to shop your littles’ (and bigs’) wishlists! Head to the link in bio to find whimsical indie bookstores, The Little Pink House, great thrift stores, magical toy shops, and pop ups to pop into in downtown Detroit (all with links and helpful info). Happy hunting! 🩷💙💚 Happy almost weekend! If you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit, you’ll be able to enjoy 1001 Winter Wonders, Winter at the Station, Cadillac Lodge, and Downtown Detroit Markets. Or, if you’re looking to just embrace the rest of pre-holiday Autumn, you can enjoy seasonal offerings at Lake St Clair & Belle Isle Nature Centers, Motor City Comic Con, some great live theatre, and lots more. Full calendar and some specific weekend highlights are both at the link in bio.
