I'm Haley Taylor from 90.9 WRCJ with a roundup of events to help you end June with a smile.
Through June 29th, "The Wiz" is lighting up the Fisher Theater.
It's a re-imagining of the "Wizard of Oz" with soulful music, stunning costumes and powerful performances.
And now through June 29th, the Livonia Spree continues at Ford Field with rides, live music, fireworks, and tons of local food.
It's a great way to celebrate Summer with family and friends.
Over in Howell, the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest floats into town, June 27th through 29th.
The festival features balloon launches, a balloon glow night, and plenty of live entertainment performing securely on the ground.
The Trenton Summer Festival also runs June 27th to 29th, bringing vintage market vendors, crafters, food trucks, and live music to the heart of downtown Trenton.
And if you want to celebrate the 4th of July, a little bit early Independence Fest in Clarkston kicks off June 28th, filled with a classic car show, kid zone, concerts and fireworks at Clinton Wood Park.
And there's of course so many other things for us to do.
So stick around to see a few more suggestions.
Have a great weekend.
