The Charities

The Infinity and Ovation crew values the work undertaken by charities that benefit and help our community grow and thrive.

Together with our media partner, Hour Detroit Magazine, we’ve played a key role in raising visibility, and much appreciated funds, for several new, emerging, and existing Metro Detroit-based nonprofits during our Summer Cruise Series season.

This year, we are partnering with organizations that touch a variety of causes from advocacy groups to cultural institutions.

While we earmark a portion of each ticket price to benefit these worthy groups, we also hope you’ll join us in the spirit of giving by making an additional donation. There’s easy to follow instructions when you purchase your tickets.

Detroit Princess Riverboat

Cruise Information

directions_boat Detroit Fireworks Dinner (Sold Out)

The old Ford Underground Garage with entry at 30 Jefferson will be open, will fill up fast. If parked there, you will walk down Bates Street to Atwater to get to the Detroit Princess. We will have a team member at the barricade there down by the river to assist you past that area. Other parking options if full or traffic is backed up is “1 st Street Garage” and “Premier Parking Millenium Garage” both of which are located close to 432 West Congress St, Detroit. You will need to walk to Bates St on Jefferson to access the riverwalk or there is a set of stairs near the UAW building which you can take down to the riverfront, in addition you may be able to walk through Huntington center (COBO), if they are allowing people to enter the building.

Another option is on the East side of the Rennaisance center, “Port Atwater Garage” located at 200 Beaubien St, Detroit, again walk to Jefferson to Bates Street to access the riverwalk.

Huntington Center (COBO) may also be available but take note they do usually close the doors to the building on the riverfront in the evening so you will have to enter the parking garage at the East Jefferson building entrance.

If you park near the sports arenas, you can take the People Mover to the riverfront area. Good stops would be the Renaissance center, or the Financial District stops. Make your way to Bates Street off Jefferson. You will not be able to access the riverfront anywhere except on foot from Jefferson to Bates Street. All other entrances to the riverfront are closed. The Q-Line is another option, park further out of the city and take the train in. It runs most the way from 8 Mile on Woodward Ave all the way downtown, once at the end of the line walk toward the river and down Bates St.
