As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers…yeah right. Us Michiganders know that fairy tale. April did bring plenty of rain showers to southeast Michigan, but it also brought plenty of frigid temperatures and even snow!
However, whether it’s pouring rain or the sun is shining bright, there’s always something to do in metro Detroit! Below we’ve compiled a list of some cool events happening this month in the area.
Motor City Comic Con
Calling all metro Detroit comic book fans! The Motor City Comic Con is returning for southeast Michigan’s annual celebration of comic books, television shows, pop culture and more from May 13-15 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.
