Detroit Is More Than A Destination. It’s A Conversation.

We’re proud to be the country’s largest Black-majority city, with 50,000 Black businesses. We’re also proud of our thriving Arab American and Latino communities. We love to share who we are and what we’re doing.

Visitors coming for the National Urban Agriculture Conference should check out the Detroit Green Guide, where credit goes to urban gardens that put their city on a path to become greener, and Detroit has now established an Office of Sustainability. All this is resulting in big steps being made by local organizations, businesses and convention centers to make Detroit a greener place.

Come to Detroit to connect with our people, be immersed in our proud, one-of-a-kind culture and experience our commitment to sustainability. By supporting our local businesses, you help grow our communities and get to meet — and support —the people who live and work here. So, you leave Detroit a better person and you leave Detroit a better place.
