7 of NFL's biggest tailgate groups to host party at draft in Detroit

As Detroit welcomes the 2024 NFL draft, a tailgating party will bring together fans from across the country to the city on Friday.

Organized by a coalition of seven tailgating groups, the event will feature tailgaters from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Tampa, Florida. Locally, the Blue Crew, a Detroit Lions tailgating group, stands among the organizers. The Detroit group was previously featured in a documentary for their local tailgating traditions.

The event will feature live entertainment, local food and beverage vendors and tailgate games. Food will include a buffet catered by Detroit BBQ Co., donations from the Rubber Duck Bar, and more, and drinks including soft drinks and beer, with alcoholic beverages from Atwater Brewery and El Bandido Yankee.
