Events

Between Robert C. Valade Park and the Archer Greenway lies a stretch of uniquely Detroit restaurants and bars serving as yet another reason to visit Detroit’s award-winning Riverwalk. On this walking tour, you’ll get to taste some of the delicious offerings found between two of the newest parks and public spaces in the city. Some of the destinations you’ll visit have been around 100 years and others are just opening their doors, but each one has its own inspirational story. Join us in learning what’s just beyond the river in the historic Rivertown neighborhood.
