On Saturday, August 30 veterans and active-duty service members will gather in Detroit for the Irreverent Warriors Silkies Hike, where the streets of Detroit will fill with laughter, camaraderie, and short shorts – creating a unique atmosphere for participants to open up, connect, and heal together through humor. Silkies Hikes are exclusive for veterans, active-duty service members, and reservists. This exclusivity fosters a unique environment of openness, camaraderie, and shared understanding—what Irreverent Warriors calls “healing through humor.”

The eight-mile hike will kick off at IBEW Local Union 58 (1358 Abbott Street, Detroit) with raffles and snacks. Starting at 9:30am, participants will weave through the city, making multiple stops at local establishments, including a provided lunch break at The Old Shillelagh.

Registration is required at IrreverentWarriors.com (selecting “Detroit”).
