Things To Do

Here are all kinds of things to do in Detroit. We also list events around the Metro Detroit area and Southeast Michigan worth checking out.

We often cover and list events that are “off the beaten path,” as in more than what you’d find than just at mainstream or major concert or event halls. We pride ourselves on uplifting not only the events everyone hears about, but by people and independent folks around the Detroit region.

Frankly, there’s never an excuse to be bored between our weekly City 5 events list and all the events we constantly add to this page. Our events and listings are updated almost daily.

If you’re interested in having your event mentioned, get in touch.
