MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS
trying to be a community resource to spread the word about cool shows in southeast Michigan. We love all ages shows the most, but include some that aren't. Started off as a flyer with a bunch of different shows every month, and continues to exist as a flyer but now there's this blog that we update throughout the month. If you have something that you want to add to the calendar, leave it as a comment or email sabsalant at gmail. Been doing the monthly shows flyer for a year now, and could REALLY use some help printing & distributing the calendars. Please get in touch if you would like to help!

MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS
trying to be a community resource to spread the word about cool shows in southeast Michigan. We love all ages shows the most, but include some that aren't. Started off as a flyer with a bunch of different shows every month, and continues to exist as a flyer but now there's this blog that we update throughout the month. If you have something that you want to add to the calendar, leave it as a comment or email sabsalant at gmail. We could really use some help printing & distributing the calendars. Please get in touch if you would like to help!
