Shimmer on the River to benefit Detroit Riverfront Conservancy
Shimmer on the River, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy’s largest fundraising celebration of the year, will celebrate the waterfront promenade’s continued development with an elegant dinner and dancing event along the Detroit River.
The fundraiser, which takes place on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the GM Plaza, will honor U.S. Senator Carl Levin for his continued support of the Detroit Riverfront. Guests will enjoy a strolling dinner of Michigan-made products and local favorites, and jazz artists the Les Williams band and One World Island will grace the stage.
“This is an evening for every Detroit Riverfront supporter to come together and not only celebrate what’s been accomplished, but to also play a role in its continued transformation and growth,” says Detroit Riverfront Conservancy CEO Faye Nelson.
A range of ticket levels, including Young Professional and VIP prices, are available. Visit detroitriverfront.org to purchase tickets and learn more.
