Get ready to add some excitement to your weekend calendar. From animated pups on stage to the thrill of basketball mania, Detroit's offering a full slate of events to bid March a high-spirited farewell. WXYZ reports that "Bluey's Big Play" is set to charm families at the Fox Theatre, while NCAA tournament action keeps sports fans perched on the edge of their seats at Little Caesars Arena.

If cars are more your speed, rev up on Saturday morning at "Caffeine and Chrome" where classic automobile aficionados can show off their rides and enjoy some java and just-out-the-oven pastries, according to details from WXYZ. Taking a more laid-back vibe, the smooth vocals and cool rhythm of reggae will take over The Fillmore, featuring Damian and Stephen Marley.

For those looking to lightly indulge, Easter brunches promise to be a classy affair at spots like the Ford House and Daxton Hotel, as detailed by WXYZ. And don't forget to treat the kids to a marshmallow drop or whisker-painting at Bunnyville, a beloved local tradition at the Detroit Zoo, as reported by The Detroit News.

For those seeking more than just child's play, "The Ripple, the Wave That Carried Me Home" offers a gripping theater experience, diving deep into a family's confrontation with their civil rights legacy, as per the schedule at Hour Detroit. The umpteenth Annual Ann Arbor Film Festival is also set to showcase a myriad of independent cinematic works, making it a must-visit for film buffs.

But if it's music to your ears that you're after, The Whispers plan to deliver old-school charm on stage at the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts. In a statement obtained by WXYZ, the R&B legends are ready to cue up the nostalgia with a selection of their hits. Lastly, not to be overlooked, art enthusiasts can view the talents of Michigan artists at The Community House's Our Town Art Show, with the convenience of no admission cost, as mentioned by Hour Detroit.
