We’re in the heart of summer in Metro Detroit, and if you’re looking to get out and have a good time, there’s plenty to do for just about everyone.
First up, an event for the mature crowd. It’s the 24th annual summer beer festival happening in Ypsilanti. The event will feature more than 100 Michigan breweries offering samples of nearly 1,000 different craft beers. The fest happens Friday and Saturday at Riverside Park in Historic Depot Town.
In Macomb County the Bay Area Sports Show and Fishing Tournament happens this weekend. The event will “reel” in fun for people of all ages.
