Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8:16PM | Becks Davis It’s Thanksgiving weekend and there are tons of things to do in Detroit. The night before Thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year so start your festivities off right. Or stay away if you’re not fond of crowded bars.
Now in its 85th year, the America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a Detroit tradition. Of course, our WINNING Lions always play on turkey day and this year’s match up against the Green Bay Packers will be one to watch.
The loonies bargain shoppers will be out in full force come Friday morning and will take over the malls for the rest of the weekend.
What? You know about all those things to do in Detroit this weekend? Oh. Check out the list below for other fabulous options.
