The City of Port Huron has been approved for its new social district which will be located along the St. Clair River. Soon you’ll be able to sit and have a drink with friends while taking in the scenery and watching the freighters go by.
A social district is a designated area where people can take their alcoholic beverages to be consumed outside of the bar or restaurant from which it was originally purchased. The new Edison Social District will run along the Thomas Edison Parkway.
There will be two licensed establishments included in the Edison Social District, Freighters Eatery & Taproom as well as the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. Security and enforcement will be provided by the Port Huron Police Department for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time. Plastic cups with a special social district logo are required while in the area if consuming alcohol.
This new social district will be the second for the City of Port Huron, with its first being located in the Downtown area.
