Kick summer into high gear this Father’s Day weekend in Greenfield Village. Motor Muster in Greenfield Village, one of the country’s most exciting historic vehicle shows, transports you to the golden eras of car culture.
Cruise through a diverse collection of vehicles for a rare opportunity to step inside immersive vignettes from five of the American auto industry’s most formative decades. From the lean Depression-era ’30s and the American home front during World War II to the futuristic ’50s, revolutionary ’60s and bicentennial ’70s, get a unique perspective on American culture through the lens of what we drove. Every automobile, from luxury vehicles to gritty muscle cars, has been carefully chosen to guide you through a unique story of American drive.
Plan to stay late on Saturday night for live classic American rock and pop hits from the 1970s performed by local favorite Classic Gold.
All weekend long, mingle (from a safe distance!) with hundreds of car owners ready to show off the talent that goes into preserving and restoring these living connections to the past. Then listen in as experts share the history and insights at pass-in-review parades. Consider the distance we’ve traveled and discover how far you can take it forward.
Please Note: Adhering to current CDC Guidelines, The Henry Ford will make adjustments to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. Each display area will be roped and staked to maintain distances of six feet or more. The popular “Pass-in Review” parade will still be included in the event. Member reservations will be required for a safe and enjoyable experience. If maximum capacity is reached inside the venue, members without reservations and guests without tickets may not be permitted to enter.
NEW in 2021: Racing
This year’s feature celebrates the opening of The Henry Ford’s new exhibition, Driven to Win: Racing in America presented by General Motors, with a spotlight on auto racing. Americans love speed and spectacle. Whether it’s open-wheel competition at Indianapolis, super stock duels at the drag strip, or a 25-lap feature at the local dirt oval, racing stirs excitement – and sells cars. Automakers tout their victories and give their production cars racing-inspired names. Pontiac had the Bonneville, the LeMans and the Trans Am. Studebaker and Dodge both used Daytona, while Ford claimed Talladega. Chevrolet topped everyone, naming its entire brand for Swiss-American racing driver Louis Chevrolet. In 2021 we’ll remember the cars, the drivers and the tracks that made racing in America so special.

*Immersive Historic Vignettes
*Live Music
*Favorite Greenfield Village Picnic Food
*Meticulously Restored and Preserved Historic Vehicles

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
