Remember this past Labor Day when there about 1,442 amazing music festivals happening around town*? Well, this weekend’s sort of like that too. Except two festivals are in the same city. What the hell are you doing inside reading this?
*Okay, three: Arts Beats & Eats, Jazz Fest, and the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival. But still, that’s A LOT of great music in three different cities. It’s not like we can teleport . . . yet.
DIY Street Fair
The DIY Street Fair is a free 2-day, 3-night event in Ferndale, Michigan where local artists, crafters, businesses, groups and organizations, musicians, restaurants, brewers and others who live and work with a do-it-yourself ethic converge for one big celebration. The event, which launched its first weekend fair in 2008, showcases the immense creative energy, independent spirit and innovative talent that can be found throughout the area. Open to the public, free to attend and all are welcome. (via official site)

Funky Ferndale Art Fair
What is Funky Art? Art that doesn’t just sit there and look pretty. Yes, there will be traditional paintings but the focus of this show is on work you may not see at other events. The festival is a juried show, over 300 artists from across the country applied for the 120 open spots. (via Michigan Art Shows)

Scrummage Fest 2012
The festival starts on Friday night at PJ’s Lager House. From 11 a.m. on Saturday, it will be at the Imagination Station, then on Saturday night it moves to the Leland Hotel Ballroom, connected to City Club. Lauer says that the aim is to bring a bunch of different people together from different scenes, just like any other festival. “We just put our own take on it,” he says. “We have a showcase of film, art, music and installations” (via the Metrotimes)
