- Hey, Dave, I'm so excited to be here with you to discuss the cool happenings going on in and around the Metro Detroit area.

- Well, it's going to be busy around here, Cecelia.

Let's start with the Black Food and Beverage Hospitality Summit going on at One Campus Martius, hosted by Black Food & Wine Experience.

The day will bring together some of the leading stars in the food and beverage world, so get ready to sample food and drink and learn more about the industry.

- [Cecelia] That sounds like a delicious time.

And you know, Dave, it's never too early for some spooky Halloween fun.

On Saturday, September 14th, it's just that with Frankenfest at Historic Fort Wayne.

There will be haunting and mystical pieces of art showcased next to monstrous exhibits, along with food trucks to satisfy anyone's appetite.

It's an outdoor event running from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

- [Dave] Also, Saturday and Sunday is the Canterbury Village Oktoberfest, where you can enjoy Alpine-inspired food and drink and have a ton of fun.

- [Cecelia] The theater season is really starting to ramp up, and at the Detroit Opera House is "Moulin Rouge!

The Musical," starting September 17th and running through October 6th.

- [Dave] And September is Hispanic Heritage Month.

And one way to celebrate is on Sunday, September 15th, Ya Salsa Dance Party at The War Memorial.

Armando Vega and his orchestra will be there entertaining.

Food will be available, and people can participate in a beginner's salsa class.

It's salsa all night long.

Well, at least until it ends at 10:00 PM.

- Of course, there's always so many events, museums, galleries, and more to check off your list.

So here are a few other options.

Have a great weekend.
