GM River Days presented by the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, returns June 23-25, 2017. This one of a kind festival takes place along the Detroit Riverfront from the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority Terminal & Dock just west of the GM Renaissance Center, to Rivard Plaza and the William G. Milliken State Park. River Days is a celebration of Detroit's RiverWalk with activities on land and water. Experience all the RiverWalk has to offer, from the jet-ski demos to live music, sand sculptures, delicious eats and much more!
This year's GM River Days celebration will include an airshow Friday at 1:00pm, Saturday and Sunday June 24 and 25 starting at 3:30 p.m. each day. The show is being staged by the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum. The show will include something for everyone.
A fixture on the Detroit River since 1874 and a unique representation of Detroit's distinction as being an international border, the United States Coast Guard will have a presence this year at GM River Days. The USCGC BRISTOL BAY (WTGB-102) will be onsite and free to tour during the festival. The cutter will be docked at GM Plaza. Tours take place on Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25 from 11am-5 pm. The primary mission of USCGC BRISTOL BAY (WTGB-102) is icebreaking. The 140-foot cutter, which is homeported in Detroit, conducts its icebreaking mission in the Great Lakes.
