Hunting for ways to make the most of the upcoming weekend? We have plenty of ideas! Check out this week's picks for things to do around town, whether you're trying to decide on someplace for dinner or to find something fun for the kids to do.

1. DINE TO DONATE FOR PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY UNITED WAY

Where/When: The Cozy Cafe; Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Pricing: Portion of bill to benefit Plymouth Community United Way.

2. DELTA TWINS LIVE AT LIBERTY STREET BREWING COMPANY

Where/When: Liberty Street Brewing Company; Friday from 9-11:59 p.m.

Why Go: The Delta Twins are a Farmington-based blues/Americana band that sounds like Tom Petty meets John Mayer. They will play everything they know.

3. FIRST PLYMOUTH FARMERS' MARKET

Where/When: Plymouth Gathering, Penniman Avenue; Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

4. RELAY FOR LIFE OF CANTON

Where/When: Heritage Park, Canton Township; 10 a.m. Saturday until 10 a.m. Sunday.

Why Go: Relay for Life helps local communities take action against a disease that will affect one in four families. Teams of co-workers, colleagues, families and friends will camp out overnight and take turns walking laps around the pond at Heritage Park. Local cancer survivors will participate in a survivor's lap and the luminaria ceremony at dusk will honor and remember loved ones lost to the disease. Money raised from the event will help provide access to up-to-date cancer information, day-to-day help and emotional support.

Pricing: Free.
