Here's Haley Taylor from 90.9 WRCJ with today's "One Detroit Weekend."
- Hello, I'm Haley Taylor from 90.9 WRCJ, with a roundup of festivals celebrating food, art, and Michigan made magic.
The Taste of Greece Festival continues through August 24th at Nativity Greek Orthodox Church in Plymouth.
Enjoy gyros, baklava, Greek dancing, and warm hospitality.
Downtown Lake Orion hosts the Dragon on the Lake festival through August 24th, featuring an art and craft fair, live entertainment at the Dragon Pub, and the legendary dragon boat races on the water.
In Novi, the Taco Fest takes over 12 Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk, August 22nd through 24th.
It's a spicy mix of taco flavors, tequila tastings, and live music.
And if you're feeling a little rebellious, check out the Plymouth Unfair on August 23rd.
The event is a hyperlocal alternative arts market, just off the beaten path.
Over at Canterbury Village, the Michigan Made Festival happens August 23rd and 24th.
It's a showcase of local creators, artisans, and food vendors all rooted in the mitten state.
And if that's not enough, there are plenty more ways to celebrate summer this weekend.
Stick around for a few more ideas.
