Detroit events

Known for its firsts in highways and automobiles, Detroit -- the Motor City -- is as well known for its strong musical roots. Techno was born here, and Motown Records, home to such legendary musicians as Stevie Wonder, set up shop here. Myriad Detroit events that happen throughout the year make sure that the city's thriving arts, culture and entertainment scene stays alive. It's not only music and theatre that engulfs the events scene here; check out a Detroit Pistons game to emerce yourself in the comradery of sports.

Detroit venues

Detroit is synonymous with underground rave culture, and clubs like Marble Bar make sure the culture remains well and thriving. However, there is more to Detroit than dancing away to thumping bass music. Belle Isle Park is the city's cultural and entertainment hub. In addition to hosting the annual Detroit Island Music Festival, the expansive island park has a racetrack, which hosts the annual Detroit Grand Prix.

A little distance away from the park is the iconic Fisher Theatre -- venue for Broadway shows in Detroit throughout the year. Fisher Theatre is just one of many in the city's famed theater district, one of the largest in the country. Football fans can catch a game at Ford Field, which is home to the Detroit Lions.

Given the wide variety of events that happen year-round in the Motor City, it is safe to say that Detroit has something for everyone. Make sure you get your tickets to your favorite Detroit events early, though, since most Detroit venues fill up fast.
