The Detroit Riverfront has quickly become one of the most exciting and popular meeting places in Detroit. It allows an escape from the fast-paced city life to enjoy some downtime. Whether you like running, walking or biking, it serves as a place for friends and family to gather.
The annual Live the Riverfront summer programming offers a variety of weekly events to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle. Check out the list of events to enjoy the Detroit riverfront, hosted by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan:
