After taking a year off, Soirée returns this fall with a fresh format, new location, and expanded impact on the future of Detroit's Greenways. Soirée for the Greenways will be hosted on Friday, September 18 on the Southwest Greenway and will be a masquerade fundraiser under the stars you won't want to miss. This year, the event will benefit both the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and Joe Louis Greenway Partnership, helping advance a shared vision of accessible, beautiful, and connected green spaces throughout the city.
The Southwest Greenway will be one of the evening’s headliners as the creative history of the path that joins Ralph Wilson Park to Michigan Central Station is on full display, filled with local flavors, art, and unique experiences.
The evening will be a celebration of local art centered around community and the unveiling of a new mural created by Detroit-based artist, Louise “Ouizi” Jones. Guests will not only enjoy observing the artistic displays throughout the event; they can engage in unique ways including taking a ride down the greenway on one of Juan Martinez’s animal bikes, letter pressing their own custom prints with Signal Return, experiencing Yazmin Dababneh’s immersive colorful light display, and more!
Don your masquerade mask and costume and come experience the new Soirée for the Greenways in celebration and support of connectivity of public green spaces.
