Swiggin' Pig in Downtown Wyandotte – 360 Event Productions

So, the Michigan Central Station officially reopens today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're already sooo over it. Enough already. What else is there to do?

Nearby Wyandotte says, "have a shot and a slab!" The Swiggin' Pig festival starts today at 5:00pm in chic, downtown Wyandotte and runs all weekend long. Formalwear not required. NSAID of choice may be required. Napkins/wetnaps are definitely required.

The four day weekend will have something for everyone including live music from Metro Detroit’s most popular bands, ice cold craft beers, a carnival, shows, Crafters Market, whiskey tasting and BBQ!

Oooh, tell me more…

Top pitmasters will serve up some of the area’s finest barbecue offering finger lickin’ good meals for purchase at each of the food trucks. There will be plenty to keep the kids busy too, including a carnival that will feature 20 rides, interactive FREE games including Giant Jenga and Connect 4, cornhole, face-painting, magic shows and more!

Maybe you want something a little more…virtual? A hair less social? Something that's not gonna leave you stained with BBQ sauce, perhaps? Over at the world-reknown Detroit Institute of Arts is Night Out with PRISM to be followed by a selection of short films over at the Detroit Film Theatre, I’ll Be Your Mirror: Queer Documentary Shorts. Cue descriptions!…

Join PRISM, the DIA's LGBTQ+ and allyship employee belonging group, for a "Night Out with PRISM" before the screening of I'll Be Your Mirror: Queer Documentary Shorts. Mix and mingle with PRISM members and the film program curator Adam Baran in the Detroit Film Theatre's Crystal Gallery at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

Inspired by the themes of this year’s Mighty Real Queer Detroit biennial, I’ll Be Your Mirror: Reflections of the Contemporary Queer, is a program of LGBTQ+ documentary shorts curated by filmmaker Adam Baran. Drawn from films produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ll Be Your Mirror assembles an intergenerational portrait of queer lives in these increasingly perilous times.

The PRISM mingle is gratis but registration is required (scroll down). Tickets for the I'll Be Your Mirror screening are available at the door of the DFT or online here.

What about a smaller concert? Y'know, a gig? How about some (self-described) Latin shoegaze? Some mirar fijamente los zapatos? Tonight in not-too-distant Pontiac at The Pike Room @ The Crofoot is post-rock artiste Esteban Flores, professionally known as Slow Joy. Be forewarned: show starts at 6:00pm.


A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything.
