About

Sidewalk Festival doesn’t use traditional stages—artists are challenged to create site-specific performance and installation art for the alleys, gardens, storefronts, courtyards, parking lots, and streets of Detroit.

In 2023 will traveled to two distinct neighborhoods in Detroit.

Sidewalk Festival is produced and managed by Sidewalk Detroit.
