Saturday, 12/17 Winter Magic Weekend: Home for the Holidays @ Campus Martius Park This weekend is your last chance to enjoy an evening of boozy winter fun in Campus Martius before this series comes to a close. The event features a wine and beer tasting and attendees are asked to don ugly Christmas sweaters, mostly because now, everywhere you go during the holidays ,you’re expected to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Anyway, the whole thing takes place under a heated tent, which is great because the forecast for this evening is 20 degrees with a strong chance of snow showers. Ambiance, amiright? There will also be live entertainment, a selfie station, complimentary coat check, and a keepsake commemorative glass will also add to the merriment and festivities. Starts at 7 p.m.; 800 Woodward Ave., Detroit; wintermagicweekends.com; presale tickets are $20; 21 and up.

Wednesday, 12/14 Home Alone with the DSO @ Detroit Symphony Orchestra In 1990 Kevin McCallister woke up on the third floor of his family’s suburban Chicago home and found himself home alone — that is until a pair of bandits broke in and memorable hijinks ensued. The American classic is the highest grossing live-action comedy in the country, and spawned three sequels and launched the career of one Macaulay Culkin (and arguably Rory and Kieran Culkin’s too). Nearly three decades later, the movie is still beloved, thanks to ’90s nostalgia. The film will be shown in high definition on a giant screen, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will perform John Williams’ original score live. Starts at 7:30 p.m.; 3711 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-576-5111; dso.org; tickets start $70.

Sat-Sun, 12/3-4 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical @ Fox Theatre Baby boomers and millennials alike get a warm, fuzzy feeling when Burl Ives begins to retell the tale of a certain red-nosed reindeer. The 1964 made-for-TV movie has long been considered a classic, and like all classics it’s now been bastardized by a touring musical. At least all the integral characters — Rudolph, Clarice, Donner, Comet, Hermey the elf, and Yukon Cornelius — made it into the stage show. As for those warm, fuzzy feelings? Well, they must have been miscast. Shows start at 1 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Sunday; 2211 Woodward Ave., Detroit; olympiaentertainment.com; 313-471-3200 tickets are $25, $37, $45, and $60.

16 events happening in metro Detroit this week that you probably didn't know about

Don't be boring this weekend — go out there and live a little! With tons of concerts, plays, and other events going…

Friday, 11/18 The Fray @ The Fillmore Don’t lie to yourself: Every red-blooded American can identify at least three songs by the Fray: “How to Save a Life,” “Over My Head,” and “You Found Me.” Their fourth album, Helios, was released in 2014, and it was pretty impressive. They’ve been darlings for 96.3 WDVD since 2005, so it’s no surprise the “Everything but the rap” radio station is sponsoring the show. They’ll be joined by American Authors, who gained a considerable amount of airtime with their insatiably catchy pop hit, “Best Day of My Life.” The show starts at 7 p.m.; 2115 Woodward Ave., Detroit; thefillmoredetroit.com; Tickets are $15 - $65.

Friday, 11/4 Hedwig and the Angry Inch @ The Michigan Theater So, this isn't just your run-of-the-mill Hedwig and the Angry Inch screening, which would honestly be awesome enough. This is a special Get Out the Vote screening featuring a live commentary from John Cameron Mitchell aka the first Hedwig, and the film/musical's writer and director. The film is the story of Hedwig, the victim of a botched sex-change operation who is also genderqueer rock star. She's a German immigrant trapped in Kansas, who eventually finds love and acceptance in this film version of the Tony Award-winning punk rock musical. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.; 603 E. Liberty St., Ann Arbor; michtheater.org; Tickets are $8-$10.

Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas Our hometown hero Jessica Hernandez and her band the Deltas are heading out on tour to play some new songs from the band’s forthcoming sophomore album that will be released in 2017. Hernandez has a cool Amy Winehouse-vibe and her show will be a much more relaxed show than some of the other acts that play Riot Fest. If you’re from Detroit and going to Riot Fest, you need to see Hernandez and show a little hometown support. Saturday @ 1:30 p.m., Riot Stage
