Chene Park, Detroit

During the summer months, the center of Detroit's vibrant jazz and blues scene is this small, graceful, outdoor riverfront pavilion. It's one of the few places near downtown that takes full advantage of the city's waterfront. An attractive, understated fabric structure covers the stage. Cool breezes waft off the water, Canada's shoreline provides the backdrop, and a wide range of national and local acts provides the hot music. A Wednesday jazz series supplements regular weekend concerts and special events. The park is the finish for the Detroit International Marathon in October.
