Crisp air, golden light and a calendar that won’t quit — fall is one of the best times to be in Detroit. The season opens with lantern-lit nights at Hallowe’en in Greenfield Village and Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo, rolls into the Detroit Opera’s Tosca and art blockbusters at the DIA, and sparkles straight into the holidays with Wild Lights and Holiday Nights.
Sports fans are spoiled: the Red Wings and Pistons are back on home ice and hardwood, the Lions own Sunday afternoons, and college football Saturdays hum across the region. Food lovers get Eastern Market’s harvest season, plus Greektown, Corktown and Mexicantown at their coziest.
Our advice? Layer up, pick two or three favorites from our Detroit coverage, and make a weekend of it. The full calendar of official events lives at visitdetroit.com — see you out there.
