We'll be off on Monday to observe the Labor Day holiday, but will return with our weekly Michigan Development News series on Tuesday. In the meantime, here are a few suggestions for things to do in Michigan over the holiday weekend...

1. The Detroit International Jazz Festival: Detroit's hot jazz scene got some cool coverage from the Boston Globe late last month, so here's your chance to really soak up Motown's music scene. The jazz festival is being billed as the "Rumble in the Great Lakes," and it runs all weekend long. You can read the full lineup here. Standouts include Herbie Hancock and Dave Brubeck (one of my personal favorites).

2. Michigan State Fair: The State Fair runs through Monday. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids and seniors. You can check out the entertainment lineup here, and read a list of additional fair events here.

3. Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix: For any racing fans out there, you can also check out the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, featuring the cars of the American Le Mans Series and the IndyCar Series. The full event schedule can be found here.

4. Hamtramck Labor Day Festival: This is the 27th year for the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival, which will feature live music, samplings of ethnic food, cultural dancers, carnival rides, and children's activities.

5. REO Town Music Festival: For music lovers in the Lansing area, here's your chance to save money on gas by sticking close to home for some great live performances this weekend. The full lineup is here. Also, be sure to check out this article from the LSJ.
