Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
The calendar is playing a fun trick on our livers and stomachs this year with Paczki Day and St. Patrick’s Day falling so close together. The Metro Times Blowout, Paczki Day, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and St. Patrick’s Day all fall within a week and a half time frame.
Be careful out there and pace yourself!
