This Detroit Event Calendar can help you find some greaat things going on in the city

I will update this the Detroit Event Calendar on this page weekly with musical 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 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 2009. Check 'em out and have some fun in the D :)....
