Join the fun at our Grandparents Day celebration in Detroit!

AARP Michigan and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History will celebrate the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildren at a Grandparents Day event, on Sunday, Sept. 9 in Detroit. The event will take place from 1-5 p.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, 315 E. Warren Avenue in Detroit.

This free, fun-filled afternoon will include activities for all ages, including:

• Storytelling;
• Musical performances;
• Museum exhibits;
• Dancing;
• A resource fair and more.

AARP Michigan and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History recognize the important and unique role grandparents have played in families. Nationwide, more than 2.7 million grandparents are raising grandchildren, according to census figures — a number that is on the rise across the country.
