White Lotus Farms · Ann Arbor • Free
White Lotus Farms turns Saturday mornings into something magical: fresh pastries, farm-fresh goods, and goats plus a llama named Gia waiting for your attention. The 2022 pavilion keeps you dry while you shop, then wander the flower gardens and koi ponds at your own pace.

Thistle & Bess · Old Fourth Ward
Dark, dreamy, and a little mystical: Mac's dendritic agates look like tiny forests frozen in stone. Design a custom piece from gems she hand-picked in India, or browse her silver and fine jewelry collections.
October 25 at 10am (Next weekend)
Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Treasures · Old Fourth Ward • Free
Part craft fair, part spell: local artisans, tarot readers, and mystical makers fill a twinkle-lit bookstore lounge with botanical oddities, celestial goods, and incense in the air. Sip a mock mystic margarita, snap a selfie at the Crescent Moon photo booth, and browse knowing every piece is human-made.
October 31 at 11am
Thistle & Bess · Old Fourth Ward
Blend your own custom fragrance at Alchemy Slow Living's make-and-take station, then browse Thistle & Bess's brand-new Fine Jewelry collection. Two excuses to treat yourself in one charming Kerrytown shop.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
