DETROIT — 1/25/2026
This week in Detroit, the city pulses with a mix of essential civic services and high-profile entertainment. From the hallowed halls of the Detroit Opera House to neighborhood library branches, residents have a packed schedule starting Monday, January 26th.
The week kicks off with a heavy focus on community engagement and literacy. The District 4 Monthly Meeting will gather residents at the HOPE Community Church to discuss neighborhood developments, while the Detroit Public Library system hosts everything from "Baby & Toddler Time" at Sherwood Forest to "Mobile Devices for Seniors" at the Parkman branch. For those looking for a unique deal, the Detroit Police Department is hosting several Vehicle Auctions throughout the week, starting Monday at multiple locations including Grand River and Grinnell.
Culture takes center stage as literary giant Margaret Atwood visits the Detroit Opera House on Monday evening for an intimate conversation. Music lovers are also spoiled for choice with a Teena Marie Tribute at Aretha’s Jazz Café and the R&B duo DRAMA performing at Saint Andrew’s Hall. As the week progresses, the Fisher Theatre welcomes the hilarious Broadway hit Spamalot for a multi-day run, and the Detroit Red Wings take to the ice at Little Caesars Arena for matchups against the Kings and Capitals.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your knitting skills at the Redford Branch or catch Atmosphere at The Fillmore, this week highlights the diverse spirit of the Motor City.
