Both mean future, of course.

Will be has a connotation meaning you intend to go but have not yet solidified your plans. I think they both convey the same point and are grammatically correct as is.

It hard to describe the difference, but if you are a native speaker, one will just feel better to use in certain situations, for example depending on how far it is in the future, or you want to stress the will part.

I will be going to Detriot is future tense and it is also passive voice, meaning the subject is doing the action. I'm going to Detriot is present tense and it is active voice. It is also progressive, hence the -ing. So, if you say the first one it is future, while the second is present tense. Hope I helped!

They mean essentially the same thing, but "I will be going" is slightly more formal.
