September flips the switch from summer to sweater weather with a packed calendar of metro-wide happenings, from marquee festivals and art fairs to arena concerts, theatre, and big-league sports. Labor Day weekend sets the tone with multi-day city traditions, followed by neighborhood celebrations, Oktoberfests, film and street fairs, and block-party energy across Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, and Livingston counties. Stages light up at Little Caesars Arena, Pine Knob, the Fox, and more, while Comerica Park, Ford Field, and the rink downtown add must-see games to the mix. Cider mills open in force, offering classic presses, donuts, U-pick orchards, corn mazes, and family-friendly grounds that turn crisp afternoons into easy day trips. For those living in Metro Detroit, the month reads like a highlight reel of culture, music, and community; for those moving to Metro Detroit, it is a firsthand preview of why September is one of the region’s signature seasons. This guide curates the top things to do, with dates, times, locations, and ticket details verified so planning a flawless fall is as simple as picking a weekend.
