Whether you’re interested in sketch comedy, big-name comics or amateurs trying their luck at an open mic, these five clubs will definitely get a laugh out of you.

2012 World Series Pins

The Detroit Tigers have organized a road trip throughout the Great Lakes State, visiting fans and organizations that have helped support them all last year – especially through their stint in the World Series.

“These are exciting times for Tigers fans with great anticipation for the upcoming season, and it all starts with the Winter Caravan," said Elaine Lewis, Vice President of Community and Public Affairs. "We once again are expecting outstanding participation from our players, manager and coaching staff to engage with fans throughout the state of Michigan and Northwest Ohio."

The Motown Winter Blast will take over Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit Feb. 8-10 with free ice skating on the Campus Martius rink, snow-shoeing, carnival games and other fun wintery outdoor activities. More than 50 bands and entertainment acts will perform on two stages for an expected crowd of 75,000.

This is the ultimate family-friendly event, with a Kids Zone featuring performances by magicians, jugglers, puppeteers and other acts. Kids can also have their picture taken at one of the ice sculpture displays in the Ice Garden. If the little ones start to get cold, warming stations are located all over the festival site.

Have you ever driven underwater

between two countries?

Here’s your chance. Detroit shares more than international border with Canada; Detroit, along with Windsor, Ontario, shares the world’s only existing underwater international vehicular border crossing. Michigan and Canada are connected by more than the love of our Tigers and our views of the Detroit River. A tunnel connects us.
