Motor City Comic Con is at the Suburban Collection Showplace tomorrow, November 8th through November 10th.
Put on your best costumes, have meet and greets with some of your favorite TV and movie actors, take part in video game contests, and so much more.
Also, starting November 8th is the exhibition, "Fiber Flux: Midwest Educator in Textiles, Fiber Art, and Material Studies."
It allows for talented artists to cross the region to show their works from weavings to textile sculptures, and it runs through December 14th.
Another event Friday brings the World Ballet Company performing the iconic ballet "Swan Lake" at Flagstar Strand Theater in Pontiac.
Then Saturday, November 9th, Broadway Old Fashioned with Broadway star Chelsea Packard comes to the Encore Musical Theater Company in Ann Arbor.
Currently a University of Michigan Associate Professor of Voice, Packard will show off her talent that made her a part of quintessential Broadway shows like "Wicked," "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," and more.
It's Veterans Day Monday, and with that brings the 19th Annual Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 10th in Corktown.
Along with the parade is the 4Star 4Mile Race.
And there's even more to do around Metro Detroit, so stay tuned for a few more options and have an eventful weekend.
