That's just one of the many events you can take in this weekend in metro Detroit.
Dave Wagner and Peter Whorf from 90.9 WRCJ have the details on several activities you can choose from in today's "One Detroit Weekend."
- Hey, Dave, it's great to be with you hanging out, talking about what's coming up this weekend in metro Detroit.
- Oh, you're right Peter.
I love this cooler weather, and the fall colors coming in, and there's so much more to do.
So let's start with the Detroit Black Film Festival, happening through Sunday, where you can sit back and watch films created by incredibly talented African-American filmmakers.
There are going to be over 70 films shown, and they can be seen at three locations.
The Carr Center, the Marlene Boll YMCA Theater, and the DoubleTree Hotel on West Lafayette.
- It sounds like a lot of films packed into the five days of the festival.
Also, don't forget, this coming weekend is the closing weekend of Detroit Month of Design.
To celebrate, there's a Friday event at the Shinola Flagship store, and a Saturday event at Spot Lite Detroit.
One of the many things I love about this city is how it's the first and only UNESCO City of Design in the country.
- Right, I encourage everyone to really look up when walking around Detroit to take in the breathtaking architecture of the buildings that give us the honor of a UNESCO City of Design, one of only 34 cities worldwide.
Also closing this weekend is Mike Han's "United by Design" solo exhibition at Playground Detroit, which is part of the Detroit Month of Design.
- [Peter] I'd love to get one of his rugs.
and what's a fall weekend without some pumpkins, cider, and donuts.
Folks can head to Northville to get their fill at the Maybury Farm Great Fall Festival, where there'll be live music, wagon rides, pumpkin themed games, and so much more.
- [Dave] Also, this weekend starts the run of "A Jukebox for the Algonquin," presented by the Farmington players.
It's a quote unquote, "serious comedy" about a group of senior citizens at a senior living home who want to prove that aging can be a heck of a lot of fun.
- That does sound like a lot of fun and insightful.
This definitely gives our viewers a variety of activities to do this weekend.
Let's go ahead and check out a few more.
Have a wonderful weekend.
