Saturday, August 24 - Modern Skate & Surf 40th Anniversary Bash: It takes a lot to start a business, a lot of guts and a lot of hard work. Many businesses last a few years and then fade away, but if you're lucky, your business will succeed and will be around for years. When George Leichtweis started Modern in 1979, he probably didn't think that the company would still be around 40 years later. Modern is a huge part of the skate community here in Metro Detroit and this Saturday they want you to come celebrate their 40th anniversary with them. Vans will be in town for the event along with a bunch of professional skateboarders. There will be live music from The Hentchmen, The Cheetahs, Ron Allen aka MC Intelligence, Werewolf Jones, and a super secret headliner. Plus, there will be skating, obviously! The party starts at 2 p.m. and goes 'til midnight. Cover is $10 or $25 if you want to skate too!
Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25th - Hazel Park Art Fair: If you're looking for something to do during the day this Saturday or Sunday, swing by the Hazel Park Art Fair!
