Detroit's River Days Celebration will Bring the World's Biggest Food Truck Rally to Detroit this Weekend

Detroit's annual River Days Festival will return to the waterfront for three days this weekend. This annual celebration of the city's beautiful riverfront was started in 2007 to commemorate the renovations that were made at the turn of the century, but as the city has grown, so has the festival. This year, the three-day celebration will feature music, food, and lots of different activities for kids. It will also feature the largest food truck gathering that anyone in the world has ever seen. The fun will kick off this Friday, June 21st with free admission from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. After that, it will be $5 to get into the festival for the rest of the weekend. Here's an easy to use guide to everything you want to know about the 2019 River Days celebration.
