Here's Peter Wharf of 90.9 WRCJ with today's One Detroit Weekend.
- Hi, I'm Peter Whorf with 90.9 WRCJ.
The weekend is so close, summer is flying by, but still there's a lot of fun things to scope out, so let's get to it.
The Sterlingfest Art and Music Fair takes place in Sterling Heights through the 29th.
The festival shows off many artists along with music performers, science show, magic shows and more.
And on July 28th, La Shaun Phoenix Moore hosts a Poetry and Music Grand Slam Fest in Sosnick Courtyard at Orchestra Hall.
The contest is by invitation only, but anyone can see some of Detroit's finest poets compete for the grand prize and bragging rights.
There'll also be R&B music performed throughout the evening.
If you're further west of Detroit, be sure to head to historic Chelsea for the Sounds and Sights Festival, July 28th and 29th.
It'll feature live music, a kid zone, teen zone, classic car show, chalk art competition.
There's so much.
I can't name it all.
You'll have to check it out for yourself.
Also on July 29th, see "The Greatest Love Of All: A Tribute To Whitney Houston" starring Belinda Davids.
That takes place at 8:00 pm on the main stage at Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts.
Then, July 29th and 30th brings the largest Arab and Chaldean Festival in North America to Hart Plaza, where there will be special cultural exhibits, an art gallery and musical performances from all over the Middle Eastern community.
And of course, there's so much more going on in and around Detroit, so here are more events to check out.
Have a great weekend.
