The public is invited to the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authority’s (EDDDA) Fourth Annual Holiday Open House 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 12. 
The free event is at the EDDDA office, 13750 Michigan Ave., two blocks west of Schaefer.
The holiday gathering provides a great opportunity to learn what the EDDDA does to help support and promote local businesses and the east Dearborn downtown area, according to EDDDA Executive Director Mike Bewick.
It is also an opportunity to meet the EDDDA board of directors, Bewick said, and network with district merchants and residents, business partners, community stakeholders and City of Dearborn officials.
Reservations are not needed.
Guests will enjoy tasting “the world in a mile” with fabulous food and beverages from several of the diverse restaurants in the neighborhood, Bewick said.
