Part soapbox, part festival arena, Philip A. Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit is a concrete area that has become a focal point for raves and public demonstrations.

The 14 acre plaza, which is named after the late US senator Philip Hart, opened in 1975 and has a capacity of 40,000 people.

The biggest and most significant dance music event to take place each year at Hart Plaza is the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, which takes place each May as a celebration of Detroit’s rich techno heritage.

In the past summers, the dance event Summer Jamz has also been held here.

The Plaza has also been used for a number of rallies to celebrate championships won by Detroit’s major sports teams.
