Winter in Michigan can be cold and lonely, and with the current health crisis, finding ways to be resilient this season is more important than ever. The Detroit Riverfront is taking on this challenge by offering 11 weeks of winter fun; creating moments for visitors of all ages to enjoy the outdoors, opportunities for friends to connect safely, and resources for families to stay active and warm.
