- Friday is Live at Five at the Northville Art House, where they have an opening of an exhibition, live music, refreshments, and you get to chat it up with artists as you explore their work.
- It's nice to be able to hear directly from the artists about what their work means.
Also, Friday and Saturday is the Blues, Brews, and Barbecue event at Westland.
Head to Thomas H. Brown Central Park and enjoy fantastic music, delicious food, and an array of beers.
- [Peter] And don't forget about the annual Dearborn Homecoming Friday through Sunday.
The festival has incredible food, live music, activities for adults and kids, a carnival, and so much more.
Plus their fireworks may just be my favorite.
- [Dave] Saturday, August 3rd, is a hair fashion and vendor expo at Sistah's Braid Too.
There will be haircare workshops, live demonstrations, a marketplace, music, and refreshments.
- Then on Saturday and Sunday, the Belle Isle Art Fair will showcase an abundance of artists, music, a secret art garden, hands-on projects, and much more, all in that beautiful setting.
- Well, there you have it.
And, of course, there's always so much more to do around Detroit, so stick around, as we give you a few other ideas.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
