The Eastern Market is open this weekend on Saturday from 6AM – 4PM, so head on down for a taste test and shopping spree to support local businesses.

3. Watch the Detroit Tigers Game

Our beloved Detroit Tigers are playing all weekend! Head downtown to see them take on the New York Yankees Friday through Sunday, or tune in from home on Monday while they play the Milwaukee Brewers. Let’s play ball!

4. Visit the Detroit Zoo

As the weather continues to warm up, more and more exhibits at the Detroit Zoo continue to open up too! Check out all of your favorite animals and give your family a fun weekend to remember!

5. Go to a Drive-In Movie

Warm weather is back which means drive-in theaters are reopening all over the state. Head over to your local drive in and check out what movies they’ve got in store this weekend. Take a look at the Ford Drive-In Theater or the Summer Drive-In at the USA Hockey Arena to get your tickets ahead of time!

6. Check Out the Detroit Riverwalk

The Detroit Riverwalk was named 2021’s Best Riverwalk by USA Today, so why not check out our own city’s hidden gem? The lakefront breeze is sure to keep away the summer heat, and the view sure doesn’t hurt either!

7. Visit Campus Martius

Everyone knows Campus Martius is the place to be during the winter months, with an ice skating rink, Christmas trees, and all sorts of fun attractions — but summertime is no exception! Campus Martius has all sorts of sights to see from food trucks to local art and everything in between. So head on downtown to check out the heart of the city and enjoy the weather this weekend!
