With vacation season heating up, parents and kids are itching to get outside. And luckily, southeast Michigan's June grab bag of shebangs gets the job done – oodles of times over. Soak up the Detroit River breeze, buy some quirky art (or make a craft of your own), get your Motor City car fix filled, get a midway ride thrill and, of course, sink your teeth into some of the tastiest fare for miles around, from German grub to sweet strawberries. Every weekend promises new adventures, so make lots of way for June fun!
