Less than half an hour away from Detroit, you’ll find Livonia’s Rotary Park. Although only a small, one-acre park, this little green gem is a great place for those looking to stretch their legs outdoors. Walk along the lovely, wooded trails that pass by some River Rouge tributaries, head to the baseball field and tennis courts or bring your dog out for some fresh air.

Put your pedal to the metal and bike through the most interesting parts of Detroit. Wheelhouse Detroit, a cycling shop on the RiverWalk, offers specialized two-wheel tours that range from a short trip down the River Walk to day-long excursions to Detroit’s Underground Railroad, the Dequindre Cut, Heidelberg Project and much more.

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.
