 Detroit is buzzing with energy this week and you do not want to miss what is happening across the city. If you are out and about today, September 4, head to Michigan Central for special events as part of the Detroit Month of Design, running throughout September. Michigan Central Station is hosting interactive workshops and exhibitions dedicated to showcasing Detroit’s dynamic community of designers and innovators, and it's a great way to see world-class creativity in action. According to the Detroit Month of Design organizers, there are more than 75 events this month and it is all about celebrating Detroit’s reputation as a UNESCO City of Design.

This Thursday, if you are searching for creative connection, the Creative Club Detroit meetup takes place at Social Status Detroit, a chance to meet local artists and innovators as shared by Eventbrite. Meanwhile, the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum is holding an open house—whether you are into aviation history or local heroes, this is a special way to explore Detroit’s legacy.
