In Detroit’s Woodbridge neighborhood, front steps turn into mini concert venues. Think dozens of short sets, and neighbors wandering from stoop to stoop.
The porch series is organized by Woodbridge Neighborhood Development. The nonprofit is working to keep the neighborhood eclectic and affordable. They want people to be connected, not just housed.
Detroit hip hop artist
Jai Singletary is the executive director of the organization. He says preserving a neighborhood’s sense of place means making room for both homes and harmony. Jason Rho is a musician who’s played every year at the porch concerts since their inception.
Both join The Metro to talk more about the Woodbridge community and why its important to simply talk to you neighbor.

State and local leaders announced a new waterway cleanup project in Detroit. The “Reclaim the Rivers” initiative will put close to $90 million toward removing toxic sediment, restoring fish habitat and public works projects along the Detroit and Kalamazoo rivers.
The money comes from settlements with polluters. It could attract federal and private funding. Detroit City Councilman Scott Benson says some of the cleanup has already started. He says the extra funding will help make more of the river usable.
“Now that we have our federal and state partners coming in with the resources to be able to help, you can see what the results are and how families are flocking. As we clean up and expose more spaces to recreational uses, it allows more families to come down and enjoy our riverfront.”
Wayne County commissioners unanimously support Google data center initiatives
Wayne County commissioners are unanimously supporting a package of community benefits and tax incentive for a proposed Google data center in Van Buren Township.
Wayne County Executive Warren Evans had vetoed the incentives arguing Google proposing the massive date center gave officials too little time to analyze impact on the environment. Equal Opportunity Housing Commissioner Allen Wilson voted for the tax breaks in part, he says, to show “solidarity among his fellow members.”
“No disrespect to Chief Executive Evans. I think he does a great job for the county. At the end of the day, we have got to make a determination. We have to stand strong as a commission. If we don’t stand strong as a commission, folks (will) keep stepping on you.”
For his part, County Executive Evans says he will work with the commission on the data center plan going forward. Van Buren Township officials are scheduled to consider the final site plan for the center in about two weeks.
You’ll be able to see Detroit’s own Fresh the Clownsss who brings a blend of Detroit Jit dancing and high-energy clowning. The show starts tonight at 7 p.m.

Wayne County judge Cusick dismisses Detroit Tenants Union lawsuit
A Wayne County judge has sided with Detroit’s 36th District court and dismissed a case with the Detroit Tenants Union. The group sued the district court claiming that its judges allow landlords to illegally collect rent or evict tenants when their properties lacked city-issued certificates of compliance.
The lawsuit was centered around the issue that only 14% of rental properties have a certificate of compliance. The Tenant’s Union says the district judges should bear the burden of proof on whether these properties were up to code. The District Court said that’s not their job and Wayne County Judge Paul J. Cusick agreed.
The Detroit Tenants Union plans to appeal Judge Cusick’s decision.

Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, is getting a name change.
Fifth Third Bancorp acquired Comerica Bank last September and rebranded all of its branch locations. Along with it, the bank obtained the naming rights to Comerica Park. Its new name will be Fifth Third Park.
The bank’s Michigan Regional President Steve Davis says when Fifth Third bought Comerica, one of the top questions he was routinely asked was “what will happen to the Tiger’s home stadium?”
“For me, that’s incredibly humbling, knowing how much this park and the Tigers mean to Detroit and to the community, it’s pretty overwhelming for me. So, this matters because the pride that the community and Detroit has in the Tigers is the same pride that we have in this ballpark. And so, for us, this is more than just a name.”
The park’s new name goes into effect starting next year.

The city and the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation awards $330,000 dollars to five Detroit businesses in round 32 of Motor City Match. This program connects new businesses with services and space to grow by providing them with funding and resources.
Kevin Johnson, president of the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation says efforts like this help build Detroit. “People who saw a gap in their neighborhoods decided to fill it… that’s what’s going to bring our city back to the place where we want it to be, which is the most vibrant and most outstanding place to start and grow a business in this city through the mayor’s Rise Higher initiative.”
Sports
The Tigers had their payback against the Minnesota Twins with a dominant win of 11- 6 on Wednesday.
They are going to try to build off of that win this weekend against the Cleveland Guardians during their trip to Progressive Field in Cleveland Ohio.
The Tigers are currently second to last in the American League Central Division.
Arts, Beats & Eats
And this Labor Day weekend we have Michigan Lottery Arts, Beats & Eats. This annual downtown Royal Oak event is filled musical guests, such as rock band Third Eye Blind, country singer Chris Young, singer songwriter Brett Young, and R&B singer Ginuwine.
Organizers say there will also be local talent, fun for kids, and a lot of interactive activities.
At the festival there will be the Fine Art Fair that was recently named #7 in the nation for fine art and design on Sunshine Artist magazine’s annual 200 Best list.

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is hosting its 63rd convention in Detroit during Labor Day weekend.
It’s one of the largest annual gatherings of American Muslims in the U.S.
Azhar Azeez is the CEO of ISNA. He says the last time the convention took place in Detroit was 2014.
“We have a very strong base in Detroit. Many of our supporters and members are from Detroit and from the state of Michigan, and this is this has been a long-pending request to bring the convention back to this great city,” he says.
This year’s convention will feature topics of patience, perseverance, and God consciousness.
“We have invited more than 150 speakers who will not only address spiritual and theological topics, but they will also address contemporary challenges that the American Muslim community is facing, whether it is Islamophobia, whether it is anti-Muslim hate rhetoric, whether it is issues related to religious freedom,” he says.
The keynote speaker is the former 13th president of Pakistan, Dr. Arif Alvi.
Other speakers include Michigan Democratic senator nominee Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud.
Offerings include a Detroit Food Truck Fest, a mini auto show, and a showcase of 20 Michigan nonprofits.
The Convention will take place Sept. 4-7 at the Huntington Place Convention Center in Detroit.

The Michigan State Fair begins Thursday in Novi, showcasing the work of young people who live on farms. Riley Stechschulte manages the fair’s volunteers and sponsor relations. She says city kids get involved, too.
“We have a great urban youth gardening program. We have an urban scholarship program as well as a livestock and agriculture. Those kids together, from rural areas and urban areas, and [we] have them teach each other about things that they do.”
The event is smaller than the original Michigan State Fair, which ran out of money almost 20 years ago. Agriculture groups and corporate sponsors revived it in 2012 and moved it from Detroit to Novi. It runs through Labor Day at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace.

The Michigan State Fair comes to the Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi on September 3, 2026.
It’s a smaller event than the original state fair in Detroit, which usually began a week-and-a-half before Labor Day. Billed as one of America’s oldest state fairs, Michigan’s annual tradition drew more than 1 million people at its peak in the 1960s.
By the early 21st century, attendance and revenue had fallen so much that the state couldn’t afford to keep it going. The 2009 fair had 217,000 visitors. Almost two months later, then-Governor Jennifer Granholm vetoed funding for the fair.
A few years later, members of Michigan’s agriculture industry rounded up corporate sponsors and revived the event. They’ve held it in Novi since 2012.
Riley Stechschulte is the manager of volunteers and sponsor relations for Michigan State Fair, LLC. She says their agriculture and livestock teams are the heart of the event.
“They had the heart to bring it back so that future generations would have the fair,” she says. “It’s turned into something that families love to attend every single year.”
The tradition lives
Stechschulte says the fair draws an average of 200, 000 visitors over 5 days. It covers a smaller area than the old Detroit fairgrounds, much of which has been redeveloped.
But she says it has something for everyone to enjoy.
“We’ve had a circus in the past, we’ve had BMX bikes in the past, and this year we’re going to have monster trucks,” she says. “It’s a good mix of the old and new.”
The “old” elements refer to traditional features such as animal and plant exhibits showcasing the agriculture industry. One of the highlights is a cow sculpted from Michigan butter. Stechschulte says first-time fairgoers are surprised to learn how much farming matters to the state.
“Agriculture is the second largest industry in Michigan,” she says. “People who live in southeast Michigan don’t see just how much of the state is cornfields and livestock farms.”
Besides sweet corn, Michigan is a major producer of apples, cherries, grapes, peaches, berries, and asparagus.
The next generation of farmers isn’t necessarily rural
The fair gives children living on Michigan farms a chance to show what they’ve learned. But Stechschulte says city kids get involved, too.
“We have an urban scholarship program as well as a livestock and agriculture scholarship for youth involved in the fair,” she says. “Our goal is to get those kids together from rural areas and urban areas and have them teach other about the things that they do.”
The Michigan State Fair runs Sept. 3-7. Admission is $10.

The Detroit Jazz Festival is a weekend I’ve looked forward to since I moved to Michigan in 2017. Back then, I was about to start my master’s degree within the Jazz & Contemporary Improvisation Department at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. That year’s Artist-in-Residence was Wayne Shorter, and I was fortunate enough to sit front row for the performance with him, esperanza spalding, Terri Lyne Carrington and Leo Genovese at the Carhartt Amphitheater Stage in Hart Plaza. The performance turned into a live album that was nominated for a Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. I was hooked on every note and on every space Wayne left.
That was my introduction to the Detroit Jazz Festival. Nine years later, I’m still coming back.
The Detroit Jazz Festival turns 47 this year, and it’s still free, still the largest jazz festival of its kind in the world, and still happening over Labor Day weekend. Saxophonist Joe Lovano is this year’s artist-in-residence, and his throughline runs across all four days. Here’s where to plant yourself.
Friday, September 4
M.E.B., formerly known as Miles Electric Band, kicks off the weekend at 7 p.m. on the Carhartt Amphitheater Stage. The group carries forward the electric, groove-driven side of Miles Davis’s catalog, and it’s the right register to open a festival on: loose, funky, and loud enough to pull people into Hart Plaza.
Opening night belongs to Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet at 9:15 p.m. on the Carhartt stage. Lovano is joined by guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Asante Santi Debriano, and drummer Will Calhoun. Lage in particular has been showing up everywhere lately, and this quartet is a good first look at how the residency will unfold over the weekend.
Saxophonist Joe Lovano
Stick around for Tia Fuller and Shamie Fuller-Royston: Fuller Sound, a Midtown After Hours special at 10:45 p.m. in the Jazz Hall. The Fuller sisters have now released two volumes of music. Hearing sisters who each found a love for music and jazz come together and perform as a duo will be such a special gift.
Saturday, September 5
Get there early for Borderland Ensemble at 3:15 p.m. on the JPMorganChase Stage. Trumpeter Austin Di Pietro leads this Windsor-Detroit collective, and their debut album, “Live at Mackenzie Hall Jazz,” released this July, is worth adding to your listening queue even if you can’t make the early set. They’re the kind of regional group you can catch live throughout the year.
At 4:45 p.m. on the Carhartt stage, the African Rhythms Alumni Quintet celebrates the centennial of Randy Weston, led by T.K. Blue on saxophone and flute alongside Chief Baba Neil Clarke. Blue was a longtime musical director and collaborator of Weston’s, and this set is really a continuation of that relationship rather than a tribute from a distance. Weston’s own music, deep grooves and African-diasporic sensibilities, is worth revisiting beforehand if you don’t already know it well.
At 7 p.m., same stage, it’s the Ravi Coltrane Quartet: Centennial Celebration, marking 100 years since John Coltrane’s birth. Ravi has spent decades stepping in and out of his father’s shadow on his own terms, and a centennial set from him carries more weight than most tribute programming manages to do.
Artemis
Round out the day with Bob James at 8:45 p.m. on the JPMorganChase Stage, ARTEMIS at 9 p.m. on the Waterfront Stage, and, if you’re up for a late one, the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio at 10:45 p.m. in the Jazz Hall.
James is CTI-era smooth-to-funky keys, still recording; ARTEMIS is the all-star lineup of Renee Rosnes, Ingrid Jensen, Nicole Glover, Noriko Ueda, and Allison Miller, playing with the kind of interplay that only comes from years together; and Delvon Lamarr’s organ trio will be the musical nightcap you didn’t know you needed.
Sunday, September 6
The early afternoon has two homegrown acts. At 3 p.m. on the Carhartt stage, The Search: Echoes of the Fallen carries on the songbook of the late Karim Tabu Gideon, a tribute band born out of loss and built to keep the lineage of Karim, Teddy Harris, Harold McKinney, and Marcus Belgrave alive. This group doesn’t have any recorded music yet, but it’s worth digging into their source material beforehand.
Fifteen minutes later on the JPMorganChase Stage, the Dave Sharp Worlds Quartet marks a decade together blending oud, violin, and world percussion into their own strain of globally minded jazz. Both are regional acts worth following well beyond this one weekend.
Lovano returns at 7 p.m. on the Carhartt stage with the Dave Douglas Quintet: Sound Prints, featuring Lawrence Fields, Yasushi Nakamura, and Rudy Royston. Lovano and Douglas have been running this project for over a decade now, built explicitly on Wayne Shorter’s compositional language.
At 5:20 p.m. on the Waterfront Stage, Detroit bassist Jaribu Shahid is this year’s Legacy Artist, presenting a Salute to the AACM. Shahid’s roots run through Griot Galaxy and the Detroit strain of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, and having him recognized on a festival stage in his own city is the kind of moment local audiences wait for.
Later, at 8:45 p.m. on the JPMorganChase Stage, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bill Charlap offer something gentler: a vocalist and pianist working the Great American Songbook.
Closing the Waterfront Stage at 9:10 p.m., the Vijay Iyer Trio brings special guest trumpeter Adam O’Farrill. Iyer’s trio work treats rhythm almost mathematically without losing feel, and that tension is worth catching live.
Elsewhere on Sunday: Gabrielle Cavassa at 4:45 p.m. (Carhartt) is a vocalist worth discovering early if you haven’t yet. Catherine Russell at 4:45 p.m. (JPMorganChase) and Sequoia “Redwood” Snyder and Inner Knowing at 6:45 p.m. (JPMorganChase) round out that stage’s afternoon. Take 6 at 9:15 p.m. (Carhartt) brings vocal harmony that needs no instruments at all. Finally, Nduduzo Makhathini closes the night at 10:45 p.m. in the Jazz Hall, the South African pianist whose Blue Note work carries an unmistakable Ornette Coleman-inflected spirituality.
Monday, September 7
Get to the JPMorganChase Stage early for Teiku at 1:45 p.m. Chicago pianist Josh Harlow and Detroit percussionist Jonathan Barahal Taylor built this project around Jewish Passover melodies passed down in both their families, arranged as vehicles for improvisation. Bassist Jaribu Shahid holds down the bottom end here too, the day after his own Legacy Artist recognition. I spent a lot of time with their 2026 album, Klang, writing the liner notes for it, and I’ve seen them perform several times since. It’s a small, close-listening group worth catching before the bigger stages take over the evening.
The festival closes its Lovano residency the way it should: at 6 p.m. on the Carhartt stage, Coltrane 100 brings Lovano together with Melissa Aldana, Nduduzo Makhathini, Linda May Han Oh, and Jeff “Tain” Watts for “Both Directions at Once,” built around John Coltrane’s centennial. Four days of Lovano popping up in different configurations lands here, with a band deep enough to do the material justice.
Drummer Cindy Blackman
At 5 p.m. on the Waterfront Stage, Ron Carter & Foursight send the weekend off. Carter remains the most recorded bassist in jazz history, and Foursight is his current working group, still finding new corners in standard repertoire after all these decades.
Also worth catching Monday: Cindy Blackman Santana at 4 p.m. (Carhartt), whose drumming carries as much rock force as jazz precision; Roberta Gambarini with the Detroit Jazz Festival Orchestra at 3:30 p.m. (JPMorganChase), a big-band frame for one of the most technically fluent vocalists on the scene; and the Joey Alexander Trio at 5:15 p.m. (JPMorganChase), the young pianist who keeps outgrowing the “prodigy” label attached to him years ago.
Four days, four stages, and it’s all free. See you at Hart Plaza!
