See Ira Glass
The radio legend in person! This American Life host Ira Glass will be at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival this weekend with his stage show "One Radio Host, Two Dancers" with Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass. If you've ever wondered what dancing on the radio would look like, here's your chance.
Tickets are available here. The Summer Festival's full schedule is here. A local article on Glass' show is here.
Watch Fireworks
This is an easy one. Fireworks displays of all sizes will occur across metro Detroit this weekend, including on your loud neighbor's lawn. Greenfield Village's display looks extra entertaining with live music from a fife and drum corps and The Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Check out a list of fireworks displays here.
Local psychic and astrologer Rich Milostan is hosting an astrology and psychic fair at the Troy Masonic Temple. Get your palm read, play with tarot cards, and ask someone to gaze hazily upon you and declare you will make a great sum in the future! Or, just buy a fortune cookie.

Bonus: run really fast in Clawson, catch the end of Jazzin' on Jefferson, learn about your town here or here.
