Since 2000, the Movement: Detroit Electronic Music Festival has existed in one incarnation or another on Memorial Day weekend. As its name states, DEMF brings together musicians and DJs who produce some of the best electronic music in the nation. Celebrate the culture and progress of this unique branch of music in Hart Plaza.

Art aficionados will not want to miss a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts, one of the most significant art collections in the country. This gigantic museum covers 658,000 square feet and features over 100 galleries filled with everything from ancient Egyptian artifacts to today’s top contemporary works.

Enjoy the outdoors and a lovely scenic view of the Detroit International Riverfront as you stroll, jog or bike along the Detroit River Walk. This paved pathway essentially consists of a 5.5-mile promenade that runs from the Ambassador Bridge to Belle Isle Park. Stop along one of the plaza or pavilions for some fun at the carousel, butterfly garden or fishing piers.

Bond over drinks, food and fun activities on a romantic date at the Cadieux Café. This Belgian café, a former speakeasy, draws in a crowd attracted to its old-world charm, scrumptious food, extensive beer menu and unusual sporting events. Share a meal while listening to live musical acts, and play a game of featherbowling at the only bar to host this sport in the US.
