We’ve gotten a taste of spring weather these past few weeks, and metro Detroiters haven’t missed out on their opportunity to take advantage of it. Temps may have dropped again, but the warm weather tease was just enough to get us excited for more daylight, outdoor activities, and even the ultimate warm weather tradition, baseball! With that in mind, here are some upcoming fairs, festivals, and expos that will help you continue forward with the transition from these dreary winter days to the beautiful spring days ahead.

Rock Sugar at the Rust Belt Market (March 12)

When the temps begin to rise, that can only mean one thing: it’s almost wedding season! The Rock Sugar wedding show will take place this weekend at the Rust Belt Market in downtown Ferndale. Local indie wedding and crafters will be on hand to show off work samples and book appointments for you to craft your perfect wedding. Plus, the first 50 brides/grooms will get a tote bag filled with goodies from the vendors so be sure to get there early!

Downriver Indie Craft Fair (March 17-18)
