WhateverFest 5 is Happening this Weekend

Blowout isn't the only festival happening this weekend! This Friday and Saturday night WhateverFest 5 will be taking place in Hamtramck and Detroit.

WhateverFest is a DIY fest that started five years ago in the Cass Corridor and has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. This year the event will feature over 30 acts along with some vendors spread throughout two venues, Elijah's on Friday and TIRES on Saturday. There will even be a skate session on Saturday and Communal Painting. The lineup for both days is pretty stacked, with bands starting at 8 p.m. on Friday and 3:30 p.m on Saturday, and this party goes into the wee hours of the morning.
