About GM Plaza

GM Plaza is an iconic outdoor riverfront plaza and signature event space located at 300 Atwater St, Detroit, MI 48226. Nestled along the Detroit Riverfront and adjacent to the Renaissance Center, this flexible venue hosts seasonal concerts, festivals, and community gatherings. Seating is event-specific, often utilizing tiered steps, with no universal seating chart. Capacity varies by event, giving organizers and attendees a flexible, intimate-to-wide experience depending on the program.

We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining to help you secure your seats with minimal hassle.

Additional tips to enhance your visit: take advantage of nearby parking options such as Port Atwater Garage and Beaubien Place Garage (RenCen) for event parking. For convenient travel, Detroit’s People Mover stops at the Renaissance Center, and local bus routes serve the area.
