This page covers Greater Detroit including the city itself, but also the surrounding suburbs. It additionally includes Ann Arbor (which see for its own article) and Detroit-associated events as far as Lansing.
During the 1950s through the 70s, at least, Detroit was a fannish powerhouse. In more recent years, the center of fannish activity has moved outwards to the nearby college town of Ann Arbor.
The list below includes conventions held in Greater Detroit, clubs, and notable life events for prominent Detroit-related fans.
