Light Up the Riverfront is an annual BBQ and get together thrown by Rivière28, the Detroit Riverfront Conservatory’s active professionals auxiliary. The evening will be laid back, and it’s a great way to meet other people who love the riverfront.

This is a BYOB party, so bring your favorite beers or mixers to transform you mocktail into a cocktail.
