‘Hart Plaza, in downtown Detroit, is a city plaza along the Detroit River. It is located more or less on the site at which Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac landed in 1701 when he founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the settlement that became Detroit. In 2011, the Detroit-Wayne County Port Authority opened its new cruise ship passenger terminal and dock at Hart Plaza, adjacent to the Renaissance Center, which receives major cruise ships such as the MS Hamburg and the Yorktown.[2]
Thousands of people from the Midwest and Canada come together during the summer for celebrations, concerts held in one of the plaza’s two open-air amphitheaters, and festivals generally held from May through September.
Some of the events held at Hart Plaza over the years include:[9][10]
