Fourth Fridays with Ford

Throughout the day at Campus Martius Park Doors Open Detroit will give local residents a chance to gain discounted prices to the area's finest tourist attractions while enjoying live music and an artist and food market.
Building off the momentum of Super Bowl XL, a new, monthly signature series celebrating downtown Detroit, "Fourth Fridays", will kick off the evening. The warmth of a summer night, with the performance of a national music act and the aroma of al fresco dining will be the feel of this festival.

The historic streets of downtown will be again be transformed into a party for all.
