Free events in Detroit this weekend.

Detroit works well on a realistic budget because neighborhoods, public art, and public spaces carry much of the city's emerging character. Start with breakfast somewhere local, then walk a neighborhood or explore a public area where you get the real feel of Detroit's renewal without spending much. The RiverWalk offers free waterfront walking and connects to different neighborhoods with unexpected art and energy.

Choose one paid activity if something interests you, then keep the rest affordable with casual meals and low-cost events. CorvenaGuide helps you find free and low-cost happenings that make Detroit interesting and engaging.
