Detroit skyline to shine red, white and blue in honor of essential workers 

Several of Detroit’s most prominent buildings will illuminate with red, white and blue in honor of essential workers working tirelessly through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bedrock, a commercial real estate firm with several properties in Detroit, is partnering with the TCF Center and Ford Field to illuminate Michigan’s biggest city in the nation’s colors from Friday, April 3 until Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order has been lifted.

Other participating buildings include The Ally Detroit Center, One Woodward Building, One Campus Martius, The Z Lot, David Stott, the Federal Reserve Building, One Kennedy Square, 150 West Jefferson, Ernst & Young and the CN Tower at the Penobscot Building.

“By lighting the city in our nation’s colors, we put forth a united front to thank our police officers, firemen, grocery workers, delivery people, and the many, many doctors and nurses working tirelessly to keep us all safe,” a news release reads.

Bedrock and its partners is also inviting other homes and businesses to join in by turning a light outside their home to red or blue. Or alternatively, by lighting their homes in any way they can – through candles, Christmas lights, or shinning flashlights.

The lighting will take place each night at nightfall. Here is a look at some of the participating buildings.
