For some of us, school’s already out and others are counting down the last few days. The days are longer and will probably get pretty hot, hazy and lazy. But with our awesome Summer Camp Guide, Ultimate Summer Guide, Fireworks Guide, and Weekly Happenings lists there will never be a dull moment. From yoga/play classes to carnivals and festivals, Metro Detroit is overflowing with events for your whole family! Keep in mind, some of the events on this list are recurring throughout the spring and summer so you might find a new hobby or favorite hot spot. Enjoy!
