Music is definitely a highlight of this week’s list, with Juneteenth celebrations along with blues and jazz festivals across the state. Plus, there’s an air show in Metro Detroit that you don’t want to miss.
As always, I’d love to hear your suggestions! If you know of an upcoming event you want me to highlight, send me a note here (please send suggestions at least one week before the event).
