Detroit, Michigan, USA, 31 December 2013, Midnight

Detroit, Motor City, famous for the Tamla Motown record label is the largest city Michigan, and the seat of Wayne County. It isn't a city you might immediately associate with hosting a huge party for New Years Eve, but the locals pride themselves on their hospitality and will provide a warm welcome and truly enjoyable party atmosphere for anyone choosing to visit here over more well known destinations.

Fireworks in Detroit for New Years Eve take place right across the city, with private and municipal displays providing the entertainment, while the city's bars, hotels and restaurants provide a range of events to keep the locals and visitors alike entertained.

Popular parties to look out for this year include New Year's Eve at The Ark in Ann Arbor, which this year features live music from The Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Show. There will be an 80's disco night with a speciality themed buffet at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, while the Detroit Princess Riverboat will be hosting it's 7th Annual New Year's Eve river cruise - the Rock the Boat event includes buffet, champagne, live music and dancing plus of course a fantastic and unrivalled view of the city.

The Detroit cityscape has a number of distinctive features, which help provide a dramatic backdrop to the many midnight fireworks displays that will be launched across the city. One Detroit Center and the Renaissance Center together form a distinctive and highly recognisable skyline.

Live music has been a prominent feature of Detroit's nightlife since the late 1940s, bringing the city recognition under the nickname 'Motown'. The metropolitan area has many nationally prominent live music venues. Concerts hosted by Live Nation perform throughout the Detroit area. Large concerts are held at DTE Energy Music Theatre and The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Detroit Theatre District is the United States' second largest and hosts Broadway performances. Major theaters include the Fox Theatre, Music Hall, the Gem Theatre, Masonic Temple Theatre, the Detroit Opera House, the Fisher Theatre, The Fillmore Detroit, St. Andrews Hall, the Majestic Theatre, and Orchestra Hall which hosts the renowned Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
