Excited to be part of this awesome 3-day festival on the beautiful Detroit Riverwalk.

About the Festival

River Days is moving! For the first time River Days will be located on the West Riverfront.

Now entering its thirteenth year, River Days will take place June 21-23, 2019. The festival's $5 admission fee supplements sponsorship dollars to help put on the festival. Children ages 3 and under as well as seniors ages 65 and up are not required to pay an admission fee.  

The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy began the River Days festival in June 2007 to introduce the community and visitors to the transformed Detroit International Riverfront. The festival marked the opening of significant portions of the new Detroit Riverwalk and the festival has continued each year to spotlight our magnificent resources and this new destination in the city of Detroit.

Admission to the festival will be free between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday, June 21st.   Also, if you participate in the Riverfront Run you will receive a free admission coupon.

PLEASE NOTE: Any one between ages of 13 and 17 needs to be with a parent/guardian/family member OR an adult 25 or over at all times. 

Any one age 12 and under needs to be with a parent/guardian/family member OR an adult age 21 and over at all times.
