Fun in Le Sun

After dreading to walk outside into the harsh Michigan winter, it's finally time to get outside in the heat. Here are just a few of the things we'll be doing outside while enjoying this fabulous riverfront city...

Movie Night at New Center
Every Wednesday night, running until August 28th, you can catch some classics on the big screen at New Center Park.  The doors open at 8pm and the movies start at dusk (about 9:30). These showings are free and open to the public. There is also food and drinks available for purchase. So grab your chairs, and head on over! Le Fab will DEFINITELY be there for the July 10th scheduled showing of Spike Lee's classic joint, School Daze. Check here for a complete summer movie schedule.

Detroit River Walk Jazz and Soul Concert Series
To quote The Isley Brothers "Summer breeze makes me feel fine, blowing through the Jasmine in my mind..." Picture this: Warm summer breeze blowing, Detroit River back drop, while being serenaded by the sounds of live jazz from local and national greats. Almost sounds too perfect a scene to be real, aye? Oh, but it is! Check out this concert series in the rear of the Roberts Riverwalk Hotel every Thursday night at 7pm, running until September 26th. Like their Facebook page to stay up to date on the scheduled performers. See you there!

Palmer Park
The Palmer Park area is just one of Detroit's architectural gems. The residents continue to keep this community beautiful and full of fun, family activities.  In addition to the bike rides and children's tennis lessons, Palmer Park also has free Yoga and Tai Chi classes in the park. The yoga classes are every Saturday at 9am and Tai Chi is Tuesdays at 6:30pm. There are plenty of other events to check out as well. Find your zen place.

Hart Plaza Festivals
Hart Plaza is big in my heart because I remember going there in the summers as a child and celebrating people of other cultures, eating traditional food from other countries, and just hanging out enjoying each others energy. This summer is no different. Hart Plaza kicked the summer off with the annual Movement Electronic Music Festival and will soon host our 55th, award winning,Freedom Festival fireworks display.  Stay in the know of all the things popping off this summer at Hart Plaza by clicking here and check out this snippet from last year's fireworks:





Keep it FAB Detroit!! *muaaah*
