We have partnered with the Detroit Historical Society to create a very special exhibit in our first and fourth floor lobby areas. The event will take place from October 1st to November 30th. All the artifacts on display are from the collection of the Detroit Historical Society and were donated to the museum. While some came from individual donors, the majority of the items were donated directly from the City Of Detroit Fire Department(DFD) to DHS.

**This is exhibit is open to all, and is free of charge. Please stop in and learn a little bit about Detroit Fire history!

But wait…there is MORE! If that wasn’t enough…This year, we’re doing a little something different for those who like to start their nights a little later, and go right into celebrating! Starting at 9:30 pm, on NYE, we will be transforming the lounge of The Apparatus Room into a 1920’s jazz club for the evening…and we’ve got some tricks up our sleeve! We will be welcoming back the twenties proper with a roaring night of romance, entertainment, celebration and of course, lots and lots of confetti! This is sure to be a real kicker, featuring some of the very finest variety this country has to offer, all performing to the raw unbridled sound of our live jazz band, The Whoopee Cushions! See sword swallowing, strolling magic, jugglers and tumblers, burlesque by the vivacious Roxi DLite, and of course, our host Charlie Champagne will be master of ceremonies, crooning us through the night to the 20’s jazz classics we all know and love. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to travel back in time to a bygone era of art and music under the enchantment of New Year’s Eve, all in the garish Apparatus Room of the Foundation hotel. Ticket price for the entertainment portion only, includes entertainment, and a champagne toast on the house.

**TICKETS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT PORTION ONLY, CAN BE FOUND BELOW. Please note, these tickets do not include dinner.**
