Holidays and Fun Local Events
Welcome to September 2025 in Metro Detroit, when summer’s warmth lingers but the first hints of autumn begin to stir. The days are still bright and comfortable, while crisp evenings invite you to savor the city’s energy in a different light. It’s the perfect bridge between sun-soaked adventures and cozy fall traditions.
In September 2025, the Motor City hums with open-air concerts, harvest-themed festivals, and neighborhood celebrations.

Whether you’re celebrating community at the Plymouth Fall Festival, Dragon Forest at the Zoo, Arts & Apples Festival, Kids Day at Campus Martius, or attending the Saline Oktoberfest, September 2025 in Metro Detroit is packed with ways to make the most of the season. Soak up the sunshine, connect with your community, and enjoy every moment this vibrant city has to offer.
