Whether you're visiting from out of town for the NFL Draft or headed downtown from the 'burbs, Downtown Detroit is the place to be this weekend! Here are some tips on staples you'll want to check out while you're in town as well as some spots that you might not find on other lists. We're keeping this list strictly to the downtown area, so you can get there quickly by using public transit or by calling a rideshare. If you're looking to venture out a bit, we always suggest checking out Hamtramck and Ferndale too!

Friday, April 12th - Swampdog Motel Fundraiser @ Small's: This Friday night, Small's is the place to be, for a great show for a good cause! The show is a benefit for Swampdog Motel, donation based lodging for touring musicians. The house offers a place for artists to stay while their on tour, with a kitchen, shower, and laundry, which all can be hard to come by while on the road. Plus, since it's donation based, bands don't need to dish out a bunch of their hard earned cash for a place to stay for the night. In addition to housing touring artists, the folks behind Swampdog Motel also run Swampdog Rescue, rescuing and rehoming dogs in Detroit. To support these causes, Dr. Haj & Bill Kozy, Busby's Death Chair, and Colossus are playing. Cover is a suggested donation of $10 which will go towards the motel, plus they will also be collecting blankets and dog food donations for the dog rescue. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the bands start at 9:30. Come hungry because Mike will be firing up the grill and selling BBQ at the show!
Sunday, April 14th - Koffin Kats and The Queers @ The Sanctuary: Detroit's own The Koffin Kats hit the stage at The Sanctuary this Sunday night along with their tourmates The Queers. Joining them for the Detroit date are The Lowcocks and The Cult of Spaceskull. Tickets are $28 in advance and can be purchased here. All ages are welcome and things kick off at 7 p.m.
