True electronic dance music and (and even hip-hop) fans should check out Movement Music Festival. Why? Because Detroit is the birthplace of techno music and has celebrated this in festival form since 2000 (MMF was fully established in 2006 after taking over for its predecessors). Yes, Euro dance floors are where electronic music stems from but in the 80s, Detroit really turned the tables (yeah dad jokes already) on what spawned the electronic dance music millions enjoy today.

Movement Detroit 2019 Recap Trailer

This 3-day Memorial Day weekend is not only an iconic festival and takes place in Downtown Detroit’s unique Hart Plaza, you’ll be surrounded by a very inclusive crowd (usually sans frat bros and super drunk face planting first timers) but you’ll have dozens of food trucks, bars, and vendors to keep the party going and your dancing energy up. So put your baby beads on, grab your glow sticks, polish up the hula hoop, and get those furry boots ready for shufflin’ because the next photos are gonna have you so stoked for next year’s Movement Music Festival you won’t even need any molly. Just remember what Detroit legend Andrew W.K. would loudly say, ” When it’s time to party, we will party hard”!

Speaking of afterparties; In the true techno spirit of Detroit, you will find after parties, pre-parties, day parties, and parties that don’t stop for four days, indoors and outdoors.

Prof. Curtis Conrad Schabath loves being a third-generation Detroiter, dog dad, vinyl slut, and old-school fool. This queer Cancer can be found equally at marches and rallies, on the trails, beach, or streets, taking time to volunteer and teach, and micro-dosing in the morning plus meditating at night just to handle it all. Phone on DND, camera on hand, a few dollars in the pocket, and heart full of love and protection is how they emote and float through this crazy thing (and electric word) called"life".
