We have just one more weekend before the big Labor Day holiday weekend to get out and enjoy some fun happenings around the D! Labor Day is the unofficial end to Summer, but you can still get out and enjoy what’s left of the season. There are plenty events happening around Detroit for just about everyone.
Kicking off Friday, August 26, is the Michigan Made Festival at Canterbury Village in Lake Orion. The 3rd annual event will showcase all the great things about our state. Guests can purchase crafts, art, jewelry and home-made goods all with a Michigan theme. There will also be food, beer, cider, entertainment, kids activities, and more. The fest runs through Sunday.
