The unofficial start of summer is almost upon us.
We've got the Memorial Day weekend.
What's going on in Detroit?
- Yes, Memorial Day is upon us.
And what's better than Memorial Day and Barbecue?
The Novi Barbecue Fest: Ribs and Whiskey starts up Friday, May 24th, and runs through Memorial Day at Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk.
The event will feature barbecue from around the area and whiskey tastings, plus more than 30 live music performances and kids' activities throughout the weekend.
- [Dave] Well that sounds tasty and fun.
Also starting Friday through the holiday is the Ya'ssoo Greek Festival at St. George Orthodox Church in Bloomfield Hills.
There will be Greek music, dancing, magic shows, and of course, Greek cuisine.
There will be a ton of activities for the family as well.
- Mm, I love Greek food and music.
Well, speaking of music, I think I already hear the beats coming from Hart Plaza for the annual Movement Music Festival.
The beats actually start pumping on Saturday, May 25th, and will run through Memorial Day.
- [Dave] And for those in the Ann Arbor area, the Kylyn APIA Arts and Culture Festival is having a special concert called "To Heal."
The afternoon will be filled with song, poetry, and prose readings, and electronic soundscapes from Asian-American artists.
- [Cecelia] And to honor our veterans, St. Clair Shores is hosting its 71st annual Memorial Day Parade on Sunday, May 26th.
The parade runs along Harper Avenue from Nine Mile to Eleven Mile Road.
- And of course there's so much more for you to do.
Here are a few more events.
Enjoy the long weekend.
