Salute to America: Summer Stroll
The Henry Ford
Event by The Henry Ford and Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Tickets
www.thehenryford.org/current-events/calendar/salute-to-america
Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
The Henry Ford and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra are continuing their over 25-year partnership in 2021 with a safe expression of our traditional Salute to America event. Your support of this program helps celebrate our two cultural organizations as we continue to present summertime programming that is responsible and fun.
New in 2021, guests of Salute to America: Summer Stroll, are invited to walk at their own pace and listen to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform in smaller ensembles across the venue. Each symphony ensemble will be rotated throughout the evening to represent each section of the orchestra (brass, woodwinds, strings, etc.) rather than performing on a single grand stage.
Take in the unique atmosphere of Greenfield Village in the summer with a series of historical decade vignettes, historical building experiences and free carousel rides. Enjoy your favorite summer treat as you listen to performance groups — showcasing a diverse assembly of music from American history, including choral singing, ragtime, jazz and more — around the Village Green. Delight in marching fifes and drums and an extraordinary fireworks display at the end of your evening.
An exuberant collection of songs, food and fanfare connects families, friends and neighbors to honor the great American experiment. We invite you to celebrate the Fourth of July at Salute to America: Summer Stroll this year.
Your Experience Includes:
*NEW! 3 Detroit Symphony Orchestra performance areas with rotating ensembles
*Historical performance groups, including
Dodworth Saxhorn Band (brass), Taslimah Bey (ragtime piano), North Star Choral Group, Robert Jones (blues), Brassworks Entertainment (jazz trio) and more
*Holiday theming and decade vignettes, including a 1976 Bicentennial picnic
*Military fife and drum parade
*Historic building experiences
*Summer street food, cold treats and craft beer
*Celebratory fireworks finale
*FREE carousel rides
