Excited to tell you about some great events we have going on this weekend and beyond in the metro Detroit area.
And you better believe there are some great summer festivals heading our way, like today through Sunday.
One Melvin Dale Ice Arena plays host to Melvin Dale Days.
The fair includes carnival rides, delicious food, live entertainment, and it's topped off by a magnificent fireworks display Friday through the ninth as the first ever Detroit sports spectacular at the suburban collection showplace where fans can have memorabilia signed by sports legends Barry Sanders, Ben Wallace, Kirk Gibson and Donovan Edwards.
Just some of the incredible athletes scheduled to be there.
If art is more your thing, Friday through Sunday is the pool, house and garden show at public pottery.
The event includes strolling tours, wheel, throwing demos and sculpting demos.
And if you're searching for the luck of the Irish, look no further than GREENE Meade Historical Park in Livonia, where the Motor City Irish Fest takes place Friday through the ninth.
You get to see live local Irish bands, enjoy delicious food, fun games and sample Irish whiskey.
Of course, June is Pride Month, and the Motor City Pride Festival is Saturday and Sunday in Hard Plaza.
So head out there to support the LGBTQ plus community and the fun doesn't stop there.
There's so much more to do around here, so here's a few more.
Enjoy the weekend.
