This is your time to go all out with an outfit and to have a great time with your friends enjoying your guys’ favorite artists.
Hit the beach
Take a trip to the beach. Some of the nearest beaches in Michigan are Belle Isle Beach in Detroit or the Luna Pier beach in Luna Pier. This is a perfect idea for a little hour-long road trip, you can bring snacks and beverages. You cannot bring pets to Luna Piers Beach; however, you can bring pets to Belle Isle. While being there you can watch the sunset or stargaze with your friends or significant other.
Enjoy the fair
These can get pricey depending on how many tickets you want but it is a great idea for you and your friends. There’s a local Sam Jam carnival or City of Taylors carnival. Parking is first come first serve, if you come early you’ll have a good spot but coming later may mean you have to walk a little longer to get to the function. At these carnivals, there is food, rides, and games with prizes. They stay open all day so you have time for everything you’d like to do. There’s also typically live music and many new people to meet.
Volunteer anywhere 
It’s free, and you feel good doing it. This is something you can do solo or with some friends. There are many places you can volunteer, for example, you could volunteer at a hospice area at an area like Hospice of Michigan and all you have to do is show companionship and just be there for those who don’t have many visitors. You could help keep Detroit River International Refuge Park up to par or any refuge park of your choice. You could either greet guests or help keep the park clean.
