Your City 5: Things To Do In Detroit For The Weekend Of June 17-19

Jun 16, 2016 by Shianne Nocerini

This weekend is Father’s Day, so what better way to spend time with the dads in your life than to find something fun to do in Metro Detroit. There is pretty much something to do for anyone this weekend. We’ve got cars, games, and live music. Here is our list of fun things to do this weekend.

1. Greektown At Sundown -Greektown 

It’s summertime and Greektown turns Monroe Street into a walkable plaza between Beaubien and St. Antoine Street every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Visitors will be able to enjoy free entertainment throughout the weekend from 6:00 PM until 10:00 PM. Greektown has always had a bustling nightlife, and summertime really is my favorite time to spend down there.

2. Motor Muster – Greenfield Village

Greenfield Village will be filled with over 500 cars, trucks, and motorcycles, bikes, and military vehicles. This yearly event is a vintage car lover’s dream. Motor Muster runs both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. There will be a 1960’s dance show on Saturday night, and you can dance in the streets until 9:00 pm.

Hours: Saturday 9:30 AM-9:00 PM, Sunday 9:30 AM-5:00 PM

Admission to get into Greenfield Village is $23.50 for seniors, $26.00 for adults (12-61), and $19.50 for children (3-11). Members and children under 2 are free.
