- Hi, I'm Peter Whorf with 90.9 WRCJ.

And as we head into May, we have the opportunity to take advantage of some great spring days and some great local events.

First up, now through June 2nd, Detroit Public Theater is featuring "Clyde's," a play about formerly incarcerated kitchen staff who are trying to come up with the perfect sandwich at their truck stop sandwich shop.

And a classic has come to town in the show "Annie."

It takes the Fox theater stage tomorrow through Sunday.

So excited to hear all of the fantastic songs that come with a musical.

And this weekend is the celebration of Cinco de Mayo and Detroit has many different ways to honor the holiday.

Like the 59th annual Cinco de Mayo Parade and Fiesta happening in Southwest Detroit May 5th.

The theme for this year is La Historia De Southwest, showcasing all the different Latin cultures represented in Southwest Detroit.

Another way to participate in Cinco de Mayo Sunday is the Cinco de Mile 5K fun run for mental health awareness at Clark Park.

And on May 8th, Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is in Detroit presenting "Search for Life in the Universe."

He'll discuss ongoing research to find habitable planets and other life forms in the universe.

Plus there's so much more to do in and around Detroit.

So here are a few more events.

Have a wonderful weekend.
