Host Your Event at Lowertown
Lowertown serves as a community hub for Ann Arbor's north side, hosting everything from casual meetups to private celebrations.
Lowertown is committed to supporting community events that bring people together. We work with organizers to create successful events while maintaining our welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Our goal is to be your regular gathering spot, not just a one-time venue rental.
