- Hey Peter, great to be with you tonight to talk about all of the great things that are going on this weekend here in the Metro Detroit area.
- Yeah, Dave, there's so many options to check out.
Let's start with the Uncle Sam Jam in Woodhaven Civic Center Park through the 9th.
There's a ton of activities for the whole family, including free live music each night and Fireworks Friday.
- Can't get much better than festivals in Michigan in the summer, and something else happening multiple times this season is Opera in the Parks.
On July 7th, you can head to Gordon Park where you can participate in a yoga class at 5:00 PM followed by art and a meditation session.
Then, the Detroit Opera will perform at 7:00 PM, and this is really cool.
Massages will be offered all throughout the evening.
- [Peter] That sounds like a wonderful night of wellness.
On July 7th and 8th, Baker's Keyboard Lounge has the Ralphe Armstrong Trio performing.
Baker's is a place every Detroiter needs to take in at least once.
- [Dave] Absolutely.
Baker's really is a magical place.
I love going there for some food and, of course, always great music.
Now, something a little different for the family are the Historic Baseball games.
They take place in Walnut Grove at Greenfield Village.
You can see games most Saturdays this summer.
So go head out there and see the game as it was played in the 19th century.
- [Peter] Dave, that sounds like a lot of fun.
Just as you mentioned earlier about more festivals happening in the summer, the Oakland County Fair takes place July 7th through the 16th in Davisburg.
It's one of the oldest fairs in the nation.
People can check out the Big Rock Carnival Canines in Flight and there's various competitions for kids and their pets.
- There you have it.
It's another great weekend in Michigan.
So we hope all of you get out there and enjoy what our state has to offer.
- And here are some more things happening this weekend.
