Finding the best Entertainment in Detroit

So what else is there to do? Going to a sporting event is always a great option. The great things about going to a baseball game or a hockey game is that you can find entertainment before and after the game to make a great day out of it. I love the downtown area because you can go to a game, then right afterwards head towards a nice restaurant to talk about the win (of course) or head to a comedy club or even head to a movie in the RenCen.

There are plenty of restaurants for you to wine and dine at. You can fine the restaurants for a casual occasion or the fine dining as well. Downtown has many great food places that also have entertainment playing in the background. Harmonie Park is becoming a very popular hotspot for music and food. You will also want to check out Greektown. There are many restaurants and entertainment places in Greektown.

Of course you have the casinos. You may want to try your hand at blackjack or the slots but be careful not to lose all your spending money for the trip!! The new MGM Grand is a resort in itself with clubs, spas, and music performances. Another staple of entertainment in Detroit is the many festivals that are held during the summer. There is almost always a festival going on every weekend. My personal favorites are the International Jazz Festival, The African World Festival, and the Techno Festival. If you are into art, you have the Detroit Institute of the Arts to check out. It is one of the more well known art collections in the nation and they have just come off a great renovation. I'm into art and if you are too, you will be pleased by the art collection they have. The Museum of Contemporary Art is also another art hot spot for the more modern feel of art which I like as well.

If you are into music, you can probably find performers at the Fox Theatre and the Fisher Theatre. Seldom Blues is a great place to dine while enjoying some nice tunes. Also many festivals throughout the summer are catered to specific music genres. The bottom line is the entertainment in Detroit can vary from week to week. You will also find favorite spots that you can go to time after time. Things such as the festivals, the Auto Show, and the Winterblast only come around once a year which is a shame if you're not in town for those, but they are a blast to go to if you are. Did I mention that Canada is right across the water? So here is a list of all the entertainment options at your whim in Detroit:

• Museums
• Sports
• Concerts and Theatres
• Comedy and Poetry clubs
• Cultural events and festivals
• Restaurants
