More than 226K people attended Carrousel of the Nations. The largest ever! I didn't get to attend as many as I wanted, but I had so much fun at the ones I visited!

Daniel Tosh and Jordan Davis are at The Colosseum this week. Jerk Fest on Friday. Free Family Fishing on Saturday. There are 53 events this week. Make a plan to support local!

If you didn't make it downtown for the Ford Fireworks on Monday, you can head over to Pelee Island for their fireworks show on Saturday. Did you miss your prom? There is a Throwback Prom as well!
