About this listen

 Listeners, Detroit is buzzing with energy this week, and if you are looking for things to do, you have come to the right place. Tonight, don’t miss the 2025 AIA Detroit Celebration of Architecture at The Majestic Theatre on Woodward Avenue. This event runs from 5:30 until 10:30 p.m. and celebrates a decade since Detroit became a UNESCO City of Design. You will see top Michigan architecture and design professionals, enjoy good company, and explore how design is shaping the future of Detroit. It is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in creative ideas, sustainability, and urban culture. Tickets range from free to seventy-five dollars, so all are welcome.

At 6:00 p.m. tonight, music lovers can catch the legendary Jason Aldean performing live on his Full Throttle Tour at Little Caesars Arena. Get ready for country hits, high-energy tunes, and thousands of fans singing along. If you prefer jazz, the Karim Gideon Quartet will deliver hard-swinging jazz sounds right in Detroit, keeping the city’s rich musical traditions alive.

Friday brings more live shows: The Dave Hamilton Band will take over the Ford House with a night full of Motown, funk, and soul. For those in the mood for indie and folk-pop, Quinn XCII is performing at the same venue with special guests Wild Rivers. Beacon Park, always a hub for city gatherings, hosts Summer Sundays every weekend this month, starting late morning with family-friendly games, crafts, environmental learning stations, line dance classes, and even pop-up local food vendors. This is a free event, perfect for families and groups — and a great spot to enjoy Detroit’s green spaces.

Detroit's block parties are making headlines too. On Sunday, central United Methodist Church will host a community block party after morning mass, including burgers, ice cream sundaes, games, a bounce house, and more – a true taste of Detroit hospitality.

Metro Detroit is not just music, parties, and architectural celebrations; there’s also a strong civic spirit. Tonight, the Board of Police Commissioners will meet at Marathon Oil Michigan Headquarters, and the Detroit Women's Commission holds its monthly meeting at the Erma Henderson Auditorium, open to anyone who’s interested in shaping city policy or supporting community initiatives.

If you want to wind down after all the excitement, stroll through Detroit and enjoy local arts and crafts festivals, bustling nightlife in hidden lounges, or family fun like open gym events. Whether you are drawn to soulful concerts, vibrant design showcases, food-filled community gatherings, or educational experiences for the kids, Detroit’s calendar this week has you covered.
