About this listen
Detroit’s Beacon Park becomes a hub of creativity and wellness at Radiant Detroit: A Festival of Arts, Culture, and Wellness, running from 2:30 to 7:30 pm. There’s poetry from InsideOut student voices, hands-on art activities, custom scent-making, garden crafts, and music by international hip-hop artist Mahogany Jones. If you want to move, join in on the hustle dance party or unwind with a sound bath and yoga session. The park has free parking and plenty of food trucks, so it’s a perfect family afternoon.
By night, technology takes over the skyline at the DroneArt Show Detroit. At 8:30 pm, hundreds of LED drones perform synchronized routines to a live string quartet at 5101 John C Lodge Freeway. Gates open at 6:30, and ADA-accessible seating and food are on hand—get there early for the best view.
For sports enthusiasts, head to Grand Circus Park’s Fall Football Event Series today and tomorrow, running 9 to 5 both days. Along with lawn games, food trucks, and music complementing activities at Ford Field, you’ll find family fun in the heart of the city.
Martial arts fans can catch the excitement at MotorCity Cage Night XXII, live at the Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel tonight. Doors open at 6:30, first fight is at 7. All guests must be 21 and up, so bring your ID if you want some high-stakes action.
If you’re out with the family, the Sickle Cell Matters Awareness Walk and the annual Susan G Komen Race for the Cure both weave through Detroit’s scenic Atwater and Dequindre Cut areas. Early risers and community supporters will find purpose and connection along the riverfront.
Tomorrow, keep the energy going with Summer Sundays at Beacon Park, starting at 11 am. There’s crafts, games, environmental learning stations, dance classes, a picnic pop-up, and more—totally free and geared toward families enjoying one of the last weekends of summer.
Airplane lovers, youth ages 8 to 17 can enjoy free airplane rides over the city Sunday, courtesy of Young Eagles EAA and the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum. Registration is recommended for guaranteed flight slots.
For those who love a unique shopping experience, head just outside the city to the Made in Michigan Festival in Allen Park. It runs through the weekend and features local makers, food trucks, live music, and photo-ready murals.
