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 Detroit Opera House, Eastern Market, Chene Park, and Hart Plaza. There are also many events at the musuems (like the Charles Wright Museum, Historical Museum, and the Detroit Science Center.

Some Metro Detroit events and concerts come only during a certain time of the year and for only a certain amount of time such as the GM River Days, or Comerica CityFest. Also a lot of these events will be held at Hart Plaza or 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 (like the Detroit Zoo and the underrated Mexicantown) 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 :)....
