https://ioby.org/project/detroit-riverfront-arts-festival Located at LAKEWOOD-RIVERFRONT EAST PARK in Detroit, the festival is open daily for visitors to explore art installations throughout this small island surrounded by canals and the Detroit River. Special events like music listening picnics, art workshops, guided walking meditations, and talks on local history are FREE and open to all ages. A
ngel Park has long been an underutilized public park. On any given day in the summer one might run into a half dozen people fishing on the river or smoking weed in their cars, and in the past more illicit activities took place there. The park exists on sacred land, a site where over 1,000 Fox Natives were killed fleeing from the Huron, Ottawa, and Potawatomi tribes, Native allies of the French. Believing that art has the ability to generate creative and critical thought, as well as to heal, the festival aims to get neighbors out of their homes and into the park, to engage with one another and honor the water and the land that we are so fortunate to be surrounded by.
