On August 3, 2023, the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) hosted more than 300 people at Party in the Park, a fundraiser to benefit the parks and public spaces that are managed by DDP.

DDP's 2023 Fall Forum: A Real Estate Update was an insightful and engaging gathering that provided a sneak peek at new and emerging real estate development updates in Downtown Detroit.

On Nov. 17, Downtown Detroit was brimming with the sights and sounds of the holidays as the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) produced the 20th Annual Detroit Tree Lighting presented by DTE Energy Foundation. This year’s theme was “Merry & Bright: 20 Years of Holiday Lights,” in recognition of the milestone anniversary of Campus Martius Park’s opening and its first tree lighting back in 2003.
The Downtown Detroit Partnership’s (DDP) premiere fundraising and networking event, Detroit Aglow, once again kicked off the holiday season on November 20.
