Things To Do in Detroit This Weekend: April 3-April 5

Detroit's weekend has something for just about everyone, from a stand-up comedy heavyweight at Little Caesars Arena to a hands-on baking class at Eastern Market and a feel-good pop musical running through the first weekend of April. Whether you're in the mood to laugh, create, or sing along, the city is ready to deliver.

After performing in back-to-back sold-out shows in 2025, Katt Williams is set to embark on "The Golden Age Tour" with all-new material in over 25 cities in North America. Williams has developed a distinctive style featuring his trademark storytelling and a provocative sense of humor, as well as an undeniably powerful physical performance that solidifies him as one of the most dynamic stand-up comedians today.

Evelyn's Midtown Kitchen brings the art of French baking to Eastern Market with its French Baking Class: Le Croissant & Breakfast Pastries. Participants will learn to laminate dough from scratch and shape four classic pastries: butter croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and ham-and-cheese croissants. Led by an expert baker, the class welcomes all skill levels and runs for 2 to 2.5 hours in a cozy setting with 12 to 20 students. Classes are held in Shed 5 at Eastern Market. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended.

"& Juliet" reimagines Shakespeare's most famous love story with a defiant twist — what if Juliet chose herself instead? The musical follows Juliet as she abandons her tragic ending for a fresh start, guided by a powerhouse pop soundtrack featuring hits such as "Since U Been Gone," "Roar," "...Baby One More Time," and "Can't Stop the Feeling!" All songs come from songwriter and producer Max Martin, who is behind more No. 1 hits than any other artist this century. Equal parts romantic comedy and celebration of self-determination, "& Juliet" is a joyful, high-energy night at the theater.

Detroit's weekend calendar opens with baseball, live music, and a festival all competing for your attention. Whether you're heading to Comerica Park or exploring something new, there's plenty to fill the days ahead.

Detroit's weeknight lineup spans hockey, basketball, Broadway, and the symphony hall. There's no shortage of reasons to head out this week for some entertainment.
