Wednesday-Sunday: Comerica Cityfest is an outdoor street festival rich with food, entertainment and culture in Detroit's historic New Center. The 4th of July weekend event exemplifies city life (what it is and what it could be) in one of Detroit's fastest-growing 24-hour districts.

Kid Stuff Galore features a barnyard express, three workouts, and RipChord and Paul Green of the School of Rock House Band.

A diverse and family friendly crowd looks forward each year to our free national and local talent on four stages, more than 40 Michigan restaurants selling “tastes” of their specialties, free stage shows, activities for children, and a marketplace of unique Detroit products and memorabilia. Comerica Cityfest is free and open to the public.

The festival is supported by many of Detroit's top radio and television stations, as well as the local print media. More than 500,000 people attend our festival each year from throughout southeastern Michigan and Ontario.
