Community Calendar

A Community Town Hall

… with “round table” breakout discussion groups followed by reporting from group facilitators. Hybrid participation with Miro virtual whiteboard.

Saline is about to get a hyperscale data center — a massive, energy-hungry facility that serves corporate profit while our grid strains and our water gets used for cooling. We don’t have to accept that as the only model.

What if we built something different, right next door?

Join us to explore a community-owned alternative: a solar-powered mini data center that keeps computing local, runs on clean energy, and is governed by the people who use it — not Wall Street. Think cooperative or municipal ownership, built to serve social impact startups, nonprofits, researchers, and civic tech — not to extract value from our region and send it somewhere else.

This is about who controls the digital infrastructure of our future. Ann Arbor has the talent, the values, and the organizing power to show what’s possible.

Come help us design it.

The Packard Farmers Market returns for the 2026 season at the historic Packard Proving Grounds, bringing together local farmers, artisans, bakers, makers, and small businesses in a one-of-a-kind setting where history and community meet.

Formerly known as the Shelby Farmers Market, the newly rebranded Packard Farmers Market reflects its deep connection to the Packard Proving Grounds and its mission to support the preservation of this iconic historic site. The market runs Saturdays from May 16 through October 10, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on the expansive front lawn of the Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site.

Each week, the market is arranged in neat rows across the lawn, offering a relaxed, walkable shopping experience. Vendors may park directly next to their booths, and the grass setting provides a cooler summer atmosphere ideal for tent setups. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. The market is supported by Packard Proving Grounds volunteers and local high school students earning community service hours.

The Packard Farmers Market is open on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and will be closed Saturday, July 4. Proceeds from the market directly benefit the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site, owned and operated by the Packard Motor Car Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Dates: Saturdays, May 16 – October 10, 2026 *closed July 4th

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
