Detroit Event of the Week

Midnight tappings (Sunday night) will be going on throughout the state. Ashley’s in Ann Arbor will be hosting a release party, as will Uptown Grille in Commerce, and Crunchy’s in East Lansing.

All Weekend: Thursday kicks off the inaugural Freep Film Festival, where they’ll be showing Detroit- and Michigan-themed documentaries like Detroit Art City, about the history of the DIA, and Packard: The Last Shift, about the iconic Packard Plant. Showings will be at the Fillmore and the Detroit Film Theatre at the DIA.
