Peter, what's up first?
- On Friday, May 23rd, Asian Sound Revolution performs at Rivera Court inside the Detroit Institute of Arts, infusing traditional Asian instruments with modern sensibilities.
- [Cecelia] Now, if techno is more your style, the Movement Music Festival takes over Hart Plaza from May 24th through 26th as one of the biggest electronic music festivals in the country.
It's a nonstop celebration of Detroit's musical roots.
- [Peter] For art lovers, the Kensington Art Fair happens at Kensington Metropark, May 24th through the 26th, where you can meander through beautiful outdoor displays of sculpture, painting, jewelry, and more.
- [Cecelia] You can also honor history and heritage at African Liberation Weekend, May 24th and 25th at the Charles H. Wright Museum.
There will be music, panel discussions, family activities, and celebrations of African and African American communities.
- [Peter] And opening May 25th, "Our War Too: Women in Service" at the Henry Ford Museum honors the incredible contributions of women during World War II.
The exhibit runs through September 7th.
- And of course there's even more going on in Detroit, so stay tuned for a few more suggestions.
