Fall weather in Michigan brings about a lot of feelings. It’s the feeling of a light, brisk breeze sliding through your fingers. It’s the feeling of a hooded sweatshirt keeping you warm. It’s the feeling of friends around a campfire.

Now that fall is here in Metro Detroit, why not make the most of it? Lucky for you, there’s no shortage of great, free events happening this fall. See what the local art scene is up to. Sip on some locally brewed hard cider. Revel in the Halloween spirit. Whatever you do, take advantage of the season and make it one to remember.
