Spring in Detroit: Our favorite things to do!

Mar 18, 2025 | Detroit, Lifestyle

As winter fades away and spring approaches, Detroit comes alive with outdoor activities, fresh blooms, and an exciting energy that makes exploring the city even better. At Grant & Main, we love helping residents find great places to live, but we also love sharing the best ways to enjoy the city. With the warmer weather on its way, here are some of our favorite things to do in Detroit this spring.

Stroll the Detroit Riverwalk

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy the Detroit Riverwalk as flowers bloom and the sun shines a little longer each day. Whether you’re taking a morning jog, biking along the river, or simply enjoying the waterfront breeze, this award-winning pathway is a must-visit. Be sure to stop by the newly expanded Robert C. Valade Park, which features a sandy beach area, food options, and relaxing outdoor seating.

Experience Eastern Market in Full Bloom

Spring means Eastern Market is back in full swing! With fresh produce, local flowers, and live entertainment, Saturday market days are even more vibrant this time of year. As one of the country’s oldest public markets, Eastern Market is the perfect place to support local businesses and soak in the energy of the season.

Catch a Detroit Tigers Game at Comerica Park

Baseball season returns in the spring, and there’s nothing better than catching a Detroit Tigers game at Comerica Park. The atmosphere, the smell of ballpark food, and the city skyline in the background make it a classic Detroit experience. Opening Day is a city-wide celebration, so don’t miss out!

Explore Belle Isle in Bloom

Detroit’s Belle Isle Park is a springtime paradise. The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory is home to a stunning collection of flowers and plants, making it a great place to experience the changing season. Walk along the island’s scenic trails, have a picnic by the water, or visit the Belle Isle Aquarium—one of the oldest in the country.

Dine and Drink on Outdoor Patios

Spring means patio season in Detroit! Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at Madcap Coffee, enjoying a rooftop cocktail at The Monarch Club, or dining on the patio at Selden Standard, the city’s restaurant scene comes to life with outdoor seating and fresh, seasonal menus.

Celebrate at Spring and Music Festivals

As the weather warms up, so do Detroit’s festivals! The Detroit Flower Day at Eastern Market is a favorite for plant lovers, and Movement Electronic Music Festival kicks off at the end of May, celebrating Detroit’s role as the birthplace of techno. Keep an eye out for food, music, and cultural events happening throughout the city.
