The Hart of Detroit Festival will return to Hart Plaza on Friday, June 19, bringing together thousands of residents and visitors for one of Detroit’s largest Juneteenth celebrations. Expected to attract thousands of attendees, the festival will transform Detroit’s riverfront into a full-day celebration of freedom, culture, music, entrepreneurship, and community.

This festival is continued proof that we are building a platform that celebrates Detroit, creates opportunity, and highlights the very best our city has to offer.”
