(DETROIT, Mich.) Hello and welcome to this Thursday's edition of the Detroit Daily Round-Up.

Today is Thursday, May 26, let's check out Metro Detroit's biggest stories of the day.
Movement Festival set to return to Hart Plaza for first time since 2019
This weekend, the Movement Festival will return to Detroit's Hart Plaza for the first time since 2019.
Due to COVID-19, Detroit’s long-running techno festival had faced cancelations and provided issues for Paxahau, the event planner who began organizing operations for Detroit’s Memorial Day electronic music festival in 2006.
According to Paxahau director of operations Sam Fotias, the Movement Festival's return has been a teaching moment for him.
“It’s been a crash course in learning about contingencies,” Fotias said. “Even the contingencies to our contingencies don’t exist anymore.”
The Movement Festival will run from May 28-May 30 at Detroit’s Hart Plaza. More information is available at movementfestival.com.
