The Michigan Craft Distillers Association was formed in 2014 as a non-profit organization charged with marketing the individual member businesses, their products and events, but also help bring a voice for the industry when it comes to legislative issues that affect the overall beverage industry. Currently, the organization represents two dozen craft distilleries with more than 40 individual locations and tasting rooms around the state.
Food truck/vendors and artisans interested in exhibiting at this event will find details and rates here: https://forms.gle/qFUwjgVAybndmMEi7. Each is subject to approval by the MCDA board.
