All About "Around the Town"

The Around the Town blog contains metro area events that either we've (the bloggers) attended in the past, would like to attend, plan to attend or just sound interesting. It is not  a complete event calender or is focused on only events that take place  in the county. Read more.

While my favortie 4th of July events are the one's that  I can see from my own yard, nothing is more enjoyable then hearing the Detroit Symphony annual concert at Greenfield Village with fireworks in the background.

So here's a quick list of the celebrations happening around Southeast Michigan this Independence Day (and the days leading up to it). Those in Oakland County are bolded. While this list is not a complete listing of all events, check your local newspapers and city websites for events closer to you. You should also check those sites for rain dates and cancellations.
