A couple of weeks ago, I took Zhen to Columbia Street Fall Fest in The District Detroit. It was part of her 11th birthday celebration of just the two of us spending time together.
Columbia Street Fall Fest is a fun way to celebrate fall in the city. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy fall photo opportunities, then you will love this fall-themed street in Downtown Detroit.
Zhen and I had so much fun taking pictures at the fall photo installations set up on Columbia Street.
There is a life-size pumpkin spice latte cup, porch swings, two small red barns, pumpkins, corn stalks, a festive canopy made of orange leaves and lights, and a red vintage Detroit firetruck.
It’s a great way to enjoy fall in the city!
