DETROIT — The biennial Designers’ Show Houses may have concluded their 50-year run in 2024, but the nonprofit Junior League of Detroit has another stylish fundraiser coming up to continue its proud tradition of helping the community. Starting at 6 p.m. June 20, the JLD will host Second Act Soiree and Fashion Show inside The Department at Hudson’s Detroit. Hudson’s Detroit, a Bedrock development, is a new building on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit that sits on the parcel where the beloved Hudson’s department store once stood. The Department is an event space in the building; the JLD will be one of the first organizations to use it.
