Cool Events and Culture
Just in one day in Detroit you can choose from an amazing mix of ethnic
eateries in Greektown, see the laboratory where Thomas Edison invented
the light bulb, and take in a performance of a world-renowned symphony
orchestra in their new home at the Max. Take a look at some of the
area’s best events and cultural attractions:
The Detroit Institute of Arts
Lose yourself in the country’s fifth-largest fine arts museum. The DIA
houses an extensive collection of contemporary art, medieval armor,
African-American art, and thousands of classic treasures from Van Gogh
to Picasso. Take a look here.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Hear world-class performances of classical music, jazz, pops, family
concerts and more. It's all waiting for you at The Max, Detroit’s brand
new performing arts complex. Read more about the DSO here.
The Henry Ford, “America’s Greatest History Attraction”
Witness genius at work at the Henry Ford Museum. Experience 300 years
of history as America’s past comes alive in Greenfield Village. Think
BIG at the IMAX Theatre. And check out the great American production at
the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. It’s all at the Henry Ford in Dearborn.
The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History

and watch one of North America’s biggest and best annual fireworks
displays. See more here.
Woodward Dream Cruise
Cruise thirteen miles of Woodward Avenue in your classic car, or watch
from the curb as thousands of cars, from Model T’s to muscle cars,
