The Friday Five: 9/18/15

Here at Current, we understand that your busy schedule might keep you from finding all those fun activities to make this weekend a special one. That’s why we’re doing it for you in our brand-new feature, The Friday Five.

Every Friday, we’ll collect the five activities around the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor-area that look like the most fun for the upcoming weekend. Throwing an event? If you’d like an activity considered, e-mail zmarburger@adamsstreetpublishing.com with the details, or better yet, enter it in our online calendar.
