SUMMARY:Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly\, MI
DESCRIPTION:Hark! Cast aside your cares and embark upon a journey through time! In the village of HollyGrove\, the 16th Century stirs once more\, brimming with a day of revelry fit for a monarch! Over fourscore souls\, clad in garments of yore\, await your arrival. Witness the thunderous clash of steel as knights engage in a joust\, their armor gleaming in the sun. Mingle with nobles of refined bearing\, or rub shoulders with boisterous pirates fresh from the high seas. Fairies with wings of moonlight and elves of nimble step may flit amongst the throng\, while hearty peasants go about their daily tasks. Even fearsome Vikings and daring jugglers add to the vibrant tapestry of this bygone era. Come one\, come all\, to this wondrous day in HollyGrove village! \nImage Source

SUMMARY:HORSE: A Game for Everyone @ 1001 Woodward
DESCRIPTION:Library Street Collective is excited to announce HORSE: A Game for Everyone by artist Tyrrell Winston\, supported by Bedrock Detroit. Opening to the public on August 1\, 2025\, this dynamic installation transforms the boundaries between sport\, art\, and community participation. \nHORSE reimagines the basketball court as a site of creativity\, memory\, and public engagement. Inspired by Winston’s signature use of found and culturally charged materials\, this interactive experience invites visitors to engage with art through motion\, reflection\, and play. Central to the installation is a sculptural “hoop tree” that reimagines the familiar form of the basketball hoop into a sprawling\, seven-armed tree supporting 21 hoops at varying heights\, angles\, and orientations. Part monument\, part playground\, the work invites direct engagement\, encouraging visitors to step into the space\, pick up a ball\, and play. \nImage Source
