About the festival:

IngenuityFest is one of America's largest art and technology festivals. Now in its eighth year, IngenuityFest changes location from time to time to bring an underutilized or forgotten part of the city back to life for a weekend full of excitement. Last year over 45,000 people flocked to the tunnels and unused subway level of the Detroit Superior bridge to explore new technology, see cutting edge art, video, and dance, get immersed in installations, performance art and interactive exhibits, and groove to over 60 bands, musicians, & live electronic acts. Ingenuity highlights local, national and international talent.

ItÂ’s a weekend when people have come to expect the unexpected on one of the many stages and in the nooks and crannies throughout the festival. Admission is free and the festival includes food vendor, gallery, and exhibitor opportunities.
