Here is what I could find about today's event. It can be hard to find reliable info.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are continuing their campaign blitz today with a scheduled address at an United Auto Workers event in Detroit following an energized rally in the city on Wednesday night.
Harriss scheduled address before the UAW comes amid the unions endorsement of her and Walz.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are set to play up their support for organized labor during an appearance at a Detroit-area union hall as the new Democratic ticket lavishes attention on a crucial base of support.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and Walz, who joined the ticket on Tuesday, plan to speak on Thursday to several dozen United Auto Workers members.

For some reason, NBC says Walz won't be there, but that doesn't agree with the other info:

Harris will not be accompanied by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz...
