Detroit's Got It All This Week: From the PWHL Draft to Riverfront Festivals


Listen Later

Detroit listeners, if you’re wondering what to do in the city this week, let’s dig into some of the most fun things happening around town.
According to Ticketmaster, downtown is buzzing tonight with the PWHL Draft presented by Upper Deck at the Fox Theatre at 5 p.m., a big night for pro women’s hockey fans and anyone who loves live sports energy in a historic venue. If music is more your vibe, Detroit-concert listings on Songkick and detroit-mi.events highlight a packed June calendar, from indie bands at the Majestic Theatre and Saint Andrew’s Hall to national tours stopping through the Fillmore and other mid‑size venues across the city. It’s a perfect week to grab a last‑minute ticket and discover a new favorite band.
If you’re looking for something more casual and social this evening, the Detroit Shipping Company is hosting Wayne State Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. According to the Detroit Shipping Company events calendar, listeners can expect a relaxed mix of food stalls, drinks, and a rotating lineup of DJs and campus‑adjacent crowds, all in that open‑air courtyard that feels made for summer nights.
Families have plenty of options too. LittleGuide Detroit’s event calendar notes a Family Film Festival running today at MJR Digital Cinemas, a kid‑friendly way to beat the heat with affordable movies and special programming. The same guide highlights Fortunes: A Summer Interactive at the Detroit Institute of Arts, an immersive experience that lets kids and adults explore art and stories together in a hands‑on way, making the DIA an easy daytime adventure this week.
Science fans should head to Midtown. The Michigan Science Center’s events calendar shows full‑day programming, with rotating shows in the planetarium and theater along with hands‑on exhibits that keep kids busy and curious. Listeners can customize their visit with a “build your experience” schedule, mixing live demos with gallery time for a full afternoon.
Heading into the weekend, keep an ear out for festivals along the riverfront and at Hart Plaza. Recent posts promoting the Hart of Detroit Summer Festival describe Juneteenth‑themed celebrations, parades, hustle line dance parties, and jubilee events lighting up the plaza with music, food vendors, and line dancing right under the skyline. It’s the kind of all‑ages atmosphere where you can come for an hour and accidentally stay all evening.
Whether you’re into sports, live music, family fun, or just people‑watching with a great view of the river, Detroit has you covered this week.
