So Dave, what do you have first on your list?
- Well, Cecilia, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater makes a stop at the Detroit Opera House Friday, March 14th through March 16th.
The company will be performing different programs depending on the day.
So check out the website and take the quiz to figure out which performance you want to see.
Or just see them all.
- [Cecelia] Now on Saturday, March 15th, "Dude Dads on Thin Ice Tour" comes to the Royal Oak Music Theater where Taylor Calmus brings his relatable comedy about parenthood to the stage.
- Of course, Monday is St. Patrick's Day.
And Detroit has an abundance of shamrock-filled festivities to attend, like the Detroit Shamrock Festival at the Detroit Festival Grounds Saturday, March 15th.
There will be live music, food trucks, a giant heated tent, and beer to enjoy.
- [Cecelia] Ooh.
And the tradition of Detroit St. Patrick's Day Parade continues on Sunday, March 16th in Corktown.
It is one of the country's largest St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
- Well, let's hope we get some good weather this weekend.
It's always the luck of the Irish, right?
- Yep.
- And if you had your fill of St. Patrick's fun by March 17th, then head over to Aretha's Jazz Cafe to enjoy a night of jazz with Sky Covington's Satin Doll Revue.
- Of course, there's so much else to do this St. Patrick's Day weekend, so stay tuned for a few more of our favorite picks.
Have a fantastic weekend.
