Detroit Event Calendar

Find info on Metro Detroit Events

A Detroit Event Calendar with upcoming Detroit concerts and planning other Metro Detroit Events for children and adults. Also info on schedule and tickets for events.

A calendar of events can be very helpful in finding entertaining things to do outside of attractions that you can see anytime such as the Fox Theatre, the Opera House, Eastern Market, Chene Park, and Cobo Hall so check out my page on those as well.

I will update this the Detroit Event Calendar on this page weekly with Metro Detroit concerts, downtown events, and other fun things to do which may only go on for a weekend or so. You will always want to check here every week to see what events you may be able to catch in between your other activities.

Events like these are always good because even though Metro Detroit has many attractions that you can go to, you might have been to a lot and you just want something different to satisfy your boredom.

Here are some things I have listed for the Detroit Event Calendar for the rest of 2011. Check 'em out and have some fun in the D :)....

If you have any events or know of any others you would like for others to see, use the form at the bottom of this page for quick submissions of your event
