The headliner of the day is My Detroit Players. You may have seen this group of incredible musicians perform in and around Detroit before. This supergroup of musicians are extremely talented, and they each bring an insane amount of musical power and knowledge to this group.

If you’re a fan of funk, rock, R&B, pop and music that makes you want to groove, you will absolutely love seeing this group take the stage on 313 Day.

There will also be comedy! We could all use a good laugh these days, which is why it’s exciting that we’ll have a group of hilarious Detroit comedians take the stage, as well as an Only In Detroit trivia game hosted by Tiffany Barb, aka TBarb.  There will be prizes too!

TBarb has thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok, and her videos are hilarious. If you follow her on social media, you already know it’s going to be a great time with her on the mic.

We’ll also see standup sets from Mic Larry who is a radio personality on 105.9 kiss FM, Roni Shanell who tours nationally and local favorites such as Joe Aasim and Jason Brent. All of these comedians perform at various club all over Metro Detroit, so it’s a great way to see some local Detroit comedy talent, and get a good laugh in.

Oh, and there’s stuff for the kids! There will be Detroit themed coloring activities available at the Local 4 and Detroit Riverfront Conservancy tables.  Stop by and get a free coloring book and pencils!
