Each year we gather at the Dossin to mark the return of summer to Belle Isle. This year’s Centennial Picnic will be held outdoors on the Grand Lawn, a spectacular new space completed as a part of the Dossin Outdoor Enhancement Project.
Guests will be treated to a picnic basket full of delicacies, prohibition-era cocktails, old fashioned lawn games, a 1920s car show, and a presentation about the Dossin’s newest exhibition, a delightful 1920s-themed sister exhibit to the popular Boom Town exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum

Covid 19 Safety Measures
To ensure social distancing and to manage capacity, tickets are required in advance and the Museum will be closed to the public on the day of the event. The event will take place outdoors with seating vignettes generously spaced around the Grand Lawn.
The health and safety of our guests is our highest priority. Following the State of Michigan and CDC Guidelines, we will limit attendance with ticket sales and utilize outdoor spaces to maintain proper social distances. Guests will be encouraged to wear a face mask when they are not eating or drinking.
