Things To Do in Detroit This Weekend: February 27-March 1

The Motor City promises a spectacular weekend, from beautiful classic cars covered in chrome at the 73rd annual Detroit Autorama to amazing laughs provided by comedian Bert Kreischer on his "Permission To Party World Tour." Opera lovers can experience sweeping drama at "Turandot in Concert," while sports, jazz, and outdoor adventures round out a lineup that captures the city's bold spirit and creative energy.

Detroit Autorama is one of North America's premier custom car showcases, known as America's Greatest Hot Rod Show. The annual indoor event brings together hundreds of expertly built hot rods, custom vehicles, muscle cars, and motorcycles from around the world, celebrating automotive craftsmanship and design. The Don Ridler Memorial Award is presented to the best new custom vehicle, making Autorama a must-see for gearheads.

Bert Kreischer is a high-energy stand-up comic and storyteller with an outrageous sense of humor, a fast-paced style, and a beyond-wild stage presence. Named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of his generation, he's built a global comedy brand with sold-out tours, hit Netflix specials such as "Lucky" and "Razzle Dazzle," and a loyal fan base. Kreischer's signature blend of personal tales and unabashed fun has made him a must-see live act.

Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot" is a dramatic opera filled with extraordinary music, overwhelming emotion, and beauty. The settings are grand and extravagant, transporting you to an imaginative world of ancient China, where the cold and heartless Princess Turandot meets the brave Prince Calaf, who sings the sublime aria Nessun Dorma, one of the world's most famous musical pieces. The concert offers a high-quality musical experience featuring renowned vocalists and an orchestra supporting Puccini's opera about love, hardship, and change.
