Families
Family life in Detroit, by age
What's on in Detroit for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kids and teens — sorted by age, dated, and pulled from the town's real event feed.
Family life in Detroit, by age
Family life in Detroit, sorted the way parents actually search: by how old your kid is. Detroit's feed carries 173 family listings in total, 137 of them dated in the next 60 days. The busiest family venues in the feed right now are Children's Library (23) and Sherwood Forest Branch (17). Pages with their own age sections: baby, toddler, preschool, kids, teens.
Start with the age pages if one fits — they're filtered hard, only real dated listings — or scan everything coming up below. If a band doesn't have a page yet, it's because the feed doesn't have enough dated listings for that age to fill one honestly, and we'd rather say that than pad it.

Baby (0–1) — 17 dated listings in the next 60 days, including Art Garfunkel (No children under 5 allowed).

Common questions
What's on for families in Detroit?
The feed lists 137 dated family listings in the next 60 days across all ages — the Coming up section shows the soonest, and the age pages filter them down.
Why doesn't Detroit have a page for my child's age?
An age page only ships when the feed has at least 5 dated listings (or 3 regular programs) for that age in the next 60 days. Below that we'd be padding — so the band rides on this hub, with its real count shown, until the listings catch up.
