Swing by the largest jazz festival in North America! The Detroit Jazz Festival has changed names, and sponsors, over the years, but it continues to bring in huge crowds over Labor Day Weekend. Spend some time at this premier jazz event and you’ll see why–five stages, 100 acts, fireworks, artists meet-ups and, best of all, free admission.
Located in the Detroit Theatre District, the Detroit Masonic Temple holds the record as the largest Masonic Temple in the world. You don’t have to be part of a Masonic organization to appreciate this magnificent piece of architecture, however. Come by the venue for various entertainment events, including concerts and Broadway plays, hosted on its 55 by 100-foot stage.
Have a sweet tooth? You’ll definitely want to add the Sanders & Morley Candy Makers Factory Tours to your list of must-see opportunities. This famous local sweet shop has grown exponentially since it first opened its doors in Detroit. Look down along the 100-foot observation walkway and see the candies being made below you. End your tour with a delicious souvenir!
