Every summer in the city of Detroit, there are multiple festivals that take place in the great area of Hart Plaza. This location is right off the great Detroit River where Woodward Ave. and E. Jefferson St. meet. A nuclear location for entertainment, Hart Plaza this weekend hosted the Detroit Paradise Valley Music Festival. This is the second year this festival has taken place and they are looking to have a crowd of over 50,000+ attend this year’s event.
Paradise Valley also known as Block Bottom, was the prime location for the African Americans. My Fox 2 Detroit stated, “Not only for its 66 blocks where African Americans lived and worked, this was a time when there was over 350 black own businesses from law offices, drug stores, and Barber shops. Black owned night clubs is were all the greats played Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Sammy Davis Jr, Josephine Baker, all the greats of the day played Detroit and played in Paradise Valley.
