This time of year is great for me; there are tons of events going on in and around Detroit. It made it really difficult to only pick 5 events this week. I could have easily had 10 events in the Weekend Roundup this time around.
Now I just have to have a word with Mother Nature, this weather hasn’t been very pleasant.
Weekend Roundup
1. Detroit's Downtown HoeDown - 1,000,000 people are expected at the world's largest free country concert in Hart Plaza. Almost 20 national acts and over 30 local bands will be rocking 3 stages. May 14-16.
2. Flower Day at Eastern Market - Over 15-acres of flowers, shrubbery, trees, and tropical plants will be available for purchase. There will also be music, food, and family-friendly activities. May 16th.
3. The Birmingham Parade featuring the Basset Waddle - The annual parade celebrating Birmingham, Michigan ends with the Basset Waddle. What could be cuter than watching a bunch of basset hounds waddle down Old Woodward? May 16th.
4. Motor City Comic Con - Comic books, pop culture, movie memorabilia, and sci-fi collide at Rock Financial Showplace. May 14-16.
5. Downtown Royal Oak Wine Stroll - Enjoy wine and food samples from 17 restaurants and retailers. May 15th.
