Shimmer on the River

Drop your anchor and join us for an evening of celebration in support of the best riverwalk in the USA!
Sail into Summer at Shimmer on the River, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy’s largest annual fundraiser! Returning to Robert C. Valade Park on June 18th, this iconic, family-friendly night will feature live musical performances, a delicious curation of local food and beverages, lively activities for all ages, and other exciting moments to ring in a new season on the riverfront.
At our Shimmer VIP Reception, we are thrilled to honor Dr. John Hartig and Sarah & Chip McClure in recognition of their long-time championship of the work of the Conservancy.
Your contribution directly supports the ongoing maintenance, programming, and security of these valued public spaces to ensure that the Detroit Riverwalk and associated parks and greenways remain beautiful, safe, and accessible for all.
