After a couple weeks of temps near zero, we always like to joke that when the temperature approaches 30 degrees, it’s what we call a Motor City heat wave. So lets look on the bright side that we may get such a heat wave this weekend, which would give us all more gumption to go check out these awesome events! That’s right, there is a wide variety of things going on in Detroit this weekend and we’ve got you set up for a good time- here’s your City 5.
