Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- Hi, I'm Peter Whorf with 90.9 WRCJ here to share some exciting events happening in and around Metro Detroit this weekend.
The Taste of Greece is back now through Sunday at the Nativity of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Plymouth.
There you will find some of the best gyros, Greek dancing and music around.
And if you're looking for some Tex-Mex after your Greek treats, head on over to the Novi Taco Fest at Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk.
Not only can you get some fantastic tacos from over 30 taco trucks, there's also fun activities like Lucha Libre wrestling, Ballet Folklórico, live Latin music, and so much more.
It runs Friday through Sunday.
Also, at the Ford House on Friday, the Michigan Philharmonic presents "Car-Tunes."
Get ready to hear some of the best music from Disney's "Cars," "Greece," "Back to the Future," "The Beach Boys," and "An American in Paris."
On Saturday and Sunday it's time to celebrate all things our Mitten State has to offer at the Michigan Made Festival at Canterbury Village.
Go check out Michigan crafters, food, brews, wines and more.
There's also a food drive to support the Village Food Pantry, so bring a canned, or boxed non-perishable food item to donate.
And Sunday is Hug Detroit Day at Black Heritage Park on Chene and Ferry.
The event is centered on creating community spirit, spreading love, and supporting families in Detroit.
There will be live music along with arts and crafts, food, backpack, and school supply giveaways, a Soul Equestrian Horse Show, and more.
There's also so much more happening in the upcoming days.
So stay tuned for a few more options.
Have a great weekend.
