    Kick off your week with a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts. This venerable institution is currently hosting "Wonders of the Ancient World," a stunning exhibition showcasing artifacts from ancient civilizations across the globe. It’s a perfect way to spend an afternoon immersed in history and artistry.

    For music lovers, the iconic Fillmore Detroit is the place to be on Wednesday night. The venue is hosting indie rock sensation "The Midnight Hour," known for their mesmerizing soundscapes and eclectic music style—definitely an event that promises an unforgettable night with brilliant performances.

    On Thursday, check out The Heidelberg Project, an outdoor art environment that is always evolving. Colorful, thought-provoking, and at times whimsical, this Detroit staple offers a walking tour that provides insight into both the artwork and the socio-political stories behind them.

    The weekend heralds in Flavor Fest Detroit from Friday through Sunday at Eastern Market. This culinary extravaganza features local chefs, artisanal brews, and a celebration of Detroit’s diverse food culture. From hands-on workshops to taste-test challenges, it’s a must for any food enthusiast.

    If you're more of a sports fan, Saturday evening is your chance to cheer on the Detroit Red Wings at the Little Caesars Arena as they face off against the Dallas Stars. Experience the adrenaline, the camaraderie, and hopefully, a winning score for the home team!

    As Sunday rolls in, wind down your week with some relaxation at the Motown Museum's "A Soundtrack of Nostalgia" event.

It's a heartwarming way to celebrate the city’s cultural impact and historical significance in the music industry.

    Finally, don’t miss a visit to Corktown, Detroit’s oldest neighborhood. Explore its charming streets filled with boutique shops and cozy cafes. Slow Roll, a unique biking event on Monday evening, turns the neighborhood pathways into a festive cyclist parade, complete with music and food stops, making it an engaging way to experience the local community vibe.
