Mid-Evil times, carnival rides, and animals

There’s plenty to do this weekend in Detroit for the whole family, even our four-legged friends!

Now the Armada Fair is going on. The event celebrates its 150th anniversary and will feature carnival rides, food, evening events, animals and more. Friday is the Super Kicker Rodeo, then Saturday and Sunday is the tractor and truck pull. The fair runs through Sunday, August 21 at the Armada Fairgrounds.

For a more grown-up event, there’s the 18th annual Wyandotte Wine Crawl Friday. The event is free, but guests can purchase passes to sample wines from around the world while enjoying live music, food, games and shopping. Check-in and tasting begins at 6pm on Friday in downtown Wyandotte.
