So what do you have up for us?
- Well let's start with the Monroe Street Midway happening across from Campus Martius through January 7th.
There's so much winter fun to be had at the midway, including an Arctic slide, bumper cars, art experiences, puck putt, and so much more.
- Dave, did you say puck putt?
- Yes, I did.
You bet I did.
It's a nine part course where actually you use a hockey stick to hit a puck into the net.
- Well I'm game.
I'll give it a try.
And coming up Saturday and Sunday, people can tour the decked out homes in the historic Boston-Edison neighborhood during their holiday home tour.
- And if you're decorating your own home, why not do it with something you've created?
The Detroit Public Library's Edison branch is allowing you to do just that with their create a holiday wreath event on Saturday.
- [Cecelia] And through December 17th, get into the spirit with the Detroit Public Theater's Holiday Cabaret.
It's a night jam-packed with holiday and a musical theater classics.
- [Dave] Another theater, Tipping Point in Northville, is also getting into the holiday spirit with "A Very Northville Christmas."
It's supposed to be like a Hallmark movie, only live and in person, and it runs through December 23rd.
- Sounds really entertaining, Dave.
And of course, there's even more events happening around Metro Detroit.
Here's a few more.
Have a great weekend.
