Celebrating 20 Years: Crosshatch Benefit Party & Concert

  • The Alluvion 414 East Eighth Street Traverse City, MI, 49686 United States (map)

20 Years of Dancing—it seems impossible. It’s been fun to reimagine this logo as a full illustration—and just wait until you see it nearly life-sized!

Crosshatch turns 20 and Brad Kik turns 50! We’re throwing a massive party and benefit concert to mark this milestone occasion.  You're invited—come celebrate and reminisce with us, and help us plan the next 20 years. There's a pre-show party, a ticketed Alluvion concert (all proceeds benefit Crosshatch directly) and then a New Orleans funk-jazz dance party to wrap things up. Read more below about all the good stuff on offer:
