DETROIT, MI -- With good weather and high spirits,

on Saturday.

There were bands, artists and animals, surrounding Detroit's premier museums and the Midtown area's bars, stores and restaurants were packed.

Over social media, some beat themselves up for not braving the traffic and going to the 40th annual Detroit tradition, and many posted photos from the dozens of performances, exhibits, tours and other activities the event offered.

Check out MLive photos from the event at right, a video of an impromptu Detroit Party Marching Band performance at left and photos and sentiments shared over Twitter below.
