Dally In The Alley
Cass Corridor's favorite festival takes place Saturday, spreading music, vendors, food, drinks and artists all around the streets and alleys sandwiched by Forest, Hancock, Second, and Anthony Wayne. Dallying has happened here every year since 1977, so obviously something fun is happening. As a bonus, Mike Duggan and Benny Napoleon are expected to make appearances.
Find all the details here and a great collection of old Dally posters dating back to 1982, when the festival was officially titled "Dally in the Alley."
MOCAD's Fall Opening
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit holds its fall opening Saturday, premiering new exhibits and artists. The season is marked most notably by an exterior facelift -- MOCAD is now bright red. Inside, the art will focus on Detroit's history as explained by 15 muralists and inspired by Diego Rivera.

Universoul Circus
This event has somehow figured out how to combine circus-ing, hip hop, latin, pop, gospel, and the Detroit riverfront. The Universoul Circus tour is hitting Chene Park this weekend, and the only way to figure out how that all fits together is to go.
