Hooray! Summer weather has finally graced Detroit with her fabulous presence. There are so many things to do in Detroit at this time of year that there isn’t any room for boredom.

Fair and festival season are just amping up, the parks are beautiful and the patios are open and ready for business. Get out there and enjoy Detroit!
