Movement Detroit. There is nothing like it. It is an iconic electronic music festival and is exclusive to Detroit on Memorial Day Weekend. People travel from all over the world to attend every year and has been going on for nearly 25 years. I mean the city has had an influential role in the development of techno as a genre so of course we have to celebrate that!
I feel so incredibly lucky as a music fan to live right here and have been able to attend for many years. Many years of completely losing yourself in the music, making friends, and dancing for hours on end. The music has this infectious energy that grabs hold of you, making you surrender to the beats and putting you in in a musical trance. Many of the songs do not have lyrics so the beat has got to be supreme and has to move your soul. You can feel it in your bones. I usually dress up each year in a different costume including a unicorn, Superwoman, a butterfly and more. Of course this is optional.

When choosing a hotel to stay at, it ideally will be within walking distance from the festival. It must have a bathtub or hot tub to soak those tired feet. You will want to book that as early as possible as there is a huge influx of visitor during that time. Not only for the festival, but for the holiday weekend with other events. So, check out 5 great hotels below for you to stay at while visiting Detroit.
