Monroe Street Midway is returning to Downtown Detroit this summer with activities and entertainment for the whole family. However, this will be Monroe Street Midway's final season in its current location. Bedrock unveiled updated plans for its Monroe Block project earlier this year.
Opening on May 18, guests will have the opportunity to experience a series of playground-style attractions, the Rollout Detroit Roller Rink, Rocket Mortgage Sports Zone, and more.
Since its launch, Midway has welcomed more than 240,000 guests and helped generate support for local businesses.
"The Monroe Street Midway provides Detroiters of all ages with accessible and 'uniquely Detroit' entertainment options, while spotlighting local entrepreneurs and Detroit artists," said Ivy Greaner, Bedrock's Chief Operating Officer. "The Midway has welcomed more than 240,000 guests and helped generate substantial support for local businesses. It continues to surpass our expectations and has become a special place to create long-lasting memories."
The Midway will open on Thursday, May 18, and will operate Thursday through Sunday, weather permitting, through Labor Day weekend.
Entry is free into the Midway, the Rocket Mortgage Sports Zone, for mini golf, and playground activities. Roller skating is $13 per person which includes skate rental.
“RollerCade is thrilled for the city to see the all-new Midway for this summer. Everyone has put in work to elevate the entire Midway experience. As amazing as our past summers have been for downtown Detroit and RollerCade alike, we believe this summer is going to be the biggest and best one yet,” said Kyle Black, owner of RollerCade.
