Live music is back, albeit on a small scale.

The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) Parks + Public Space has announced they will host weekly, Friday concerts at Detrot's Campus Martius. The shows are scheduled to take place in the Campus Martius beach area from 4 to 9 p.m. Fridays now through Sept. 4.

According to organizers, attendance is limited to 100 at any given time, and security will be there to make sure social distancing is in place.

This Friday will feature live music by Ras Kente and Kamal Amen-Ra Trio, as well as DJ Eddie Riott.

That's not all. The DDP has also put together a full list of outdoor summer events for the Detroit area, including cardio kickboxing, family karate, and "Eating in the Park" experience and more.
