With kids in tow, seeing the latest stage show or attending that super popular special event can put a real dent in the ol’ bank account. It’s great once in a while, but geez, where are all of the free southeast Michigan events this weekend?
Actually, there are plenty if you know where to look — yes, even in the midst of the coronavirus quarantine. That’s because many local events are taking their events virtual and, in the process, they’ve waived those fees to help out at-home families.
Every activity listed here will cost you absolutely nothing for admission. Zilch. Maybe you’ll have to splurge a few bucks for parking. But that’s it!
Want to try some virtual events in Detroit that won’t cost you a fortune? Searching for online activities in Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties that won’t break the bank?
Then check back here regularly and mark your calendars so you don’t miss any of the free family fun happening over the next week or so.
Note: Things can still change, even with digital events! Check ahead for details.
