Detroit is crazy about sport. If its golf, bowling, softball, cricket at Belle Isle, cross country skiing at the Metroparks, you can find it all here. Also to keep you busy at night, there is a healthy interest in theatre, dance and art in the city. A new casino has also opened up to entice the business traveller to part with his hard won salary. Hines Park situated along the Rouge River is an ideal place for a picnic or to go horse riding. There are lots of sports arenas for basketball, baseball, and American Football, and even soccer is played here. Teams like the American Footballs Detroit Lions, the Ladies basketball team called the Detroit Shock, while the male basketball team are known as the Detroit Pistons, The soccer team known as the Detroit Rockers, the local hockey teams known as the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Vipers will entertain the avid sports fan in Detroit. Popcorn sales must be massive. During the summer months, Hart Plaza plays host to some great ethnic festivals and concerts on most weekends. The Montreux Detroit Jazz & Blues Festival on Labour Day weekend is probably one of the worlds premier music festivals. The Detroit Film Festival is very popular each weekend for non-mainstream films in the auditorium behind the Detroit Institute of Arts. The massive ornate Masonic Temple is the largest Masonic Temple in the world and it often hosts some lively concerts. |
