I'm really looking forward to this weekend. What can I say, there are some really great events going on. Have a great weekend!
Crash Detroit
I'm going to let you in on a secret about myself. I really hate crowds and I always have good intentions of going to festivals but I often just get overwhelmed at the idea of going to one. But Crash Detroit is different. This is one of the only festivals that I get pumped to go to.
I adore this festival. You can find out all of the information for Crash Detroit on our story from last week.

Beacon Park officially opens on Thursday, July 20 but the party will be going all weekend.
