Our first holiday weekend of Summer is here, and it’s always a big weekend in Detroit. It can get crazy busy downtown because of Movement, but there’s plenty to do and see in the Motor City. Here’s our guide to getting the most out of the three days.
Movement
Movement starts at 12 p.m. Saturday and the music goes until late Monday night in Hart Plaza. A full schedule for the electronic music festival can be found here. Love techno but not crazy about festivals? There are parties all over town.
Explore the city
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or you just want to get outside, it should be a good weekend to see the Motor City. Our Pocket Guide has 26 places to see, including historic neighborhoods, old movie theaters, and museums. Walking around downtown? We have an architecture guide for that. Love public art? We have so much here!
Heading out with the kiddos? We found 19 places in and around Detroit that are family-friendly.
Looking to join in a tour? Pure Detroit gives free tours of the Guardian and Fisher Buildings each Saturday. The Detroit Experience Factory has downtown walking tours, plus riverfront and cultural center tours this weekend.
