Art: Ink and Paper
Weekend Roundup
March 12, 2009
Happy St Patrick's Day weekend! For most of us, this is hardly the partyfest it was back in our younger days. I know I'll count myself lucky if I get to have a black and tan on the day itself! But there are plenty of family friendly events this weekend to celebrate Irish heritage (and the imminent arrival of spring!)
There are not one but two parades this weekend: One Saturday at 11:30 am in downtown Royal Oak , and of course the Big One Sunday down Michigan Avenue in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood (near the old Tiger Stadium). It begins at 2 pm, and is preceded by the Corktown Races, which include a fun run for kids. And the fabulous Ladel's Books, at Brooklyn and Bagley a few blocks off the parade route, will have great activities for kids on parade day.
Looking for something a little less Irish? At the Mt. Clemens Public Library at 11 am on Saturday, puppeteer Mariah Newborne will present "The Wizard Of Oz" in the library auditorium.
This weekend also kicks off the Marquis Theatre's production of "The Little Mermaid " running through the end of April. Shows are Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $8.50, and children under 3 are not permitted.
And now for something completely different: The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, or MOCAD , has its monthly Family Day Sunday from 1-3 pm. Children will be encouraged to make collage pieces, inspired by the current show "Black Is, Black Ain't".
