Fall Fest with 1950's Sock Hop Theme & Music

Saturday, October 4, 2025 - 5:00pm


The City of Grosse Pointe Woods is thrilled to announce Fall Fest on Saturday, October 4, from 5 - 8 p.m. The Cook Schoolhouse will also be open from 5 - 7 p.m.

This event will be especially memorable as it's themed 1950's Sock Hop, in celebration of Grosse Pointe Woods' 75th Anniversary. This event features hot dogs, chips, and beverages from National Coney Island. Wine and beer are available for purchase; a valid ID is required and it's cash only.

Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and 1950s-style outfits. For women, this includes poodle skirts with blouses, bobby socks, and saddle shoes, or 50s-inspired dresses with accessories like cat-eye glasses and chiffon scarves. For men, typical outfits include white t-shirts, jeans with rolled cuffs, and letterman jackets, bowling shirts, or cardigan sweaters.
